How Moonshine Created NASCAR Part 1 - Sports Bizarre
Manage episode 422708429 series 3370472
There have been times when NASCAR has not wanted people to know their early history.
That’s because the people who built NASCAR, drove the cars, built the cars and financed it, were deeply involved in one illegal industry. Moonshine.
To avoid law enforcement and tax collectors, moonshiner makers employed bootleggers, young men who could outrun those trying to stop them.
Soon, a thought occurred, what if we get these great drivers to race against each other?
Titus has a live show in Melbourne on 21 June. You can get tickets here.
