shines a light on the history of the Occoneechee Speedway.
Opening in 1948, the dirt track served the professional drivers of NASCAR for nearly two decades. Today, the mile-long path serves as a trail for the public. Instead of revving engines and loud cheers, folks can retreat for a leisurely stroll through another part of Hillsborough history.
