Secret moonshine cave found under North Wilkesboro Speedway

[@theAverageJoe25]

That’s the most nascar thing I’ve ever heard of

[@CarsandCats]

A void under the seating means NOTHING. How was it accessed? No door no room.

[@tflick41]

🙄

[@guest6423]

Exactly. This is a pointless story that reveals nothing, with the only intent to please local racing fans.

[@davidwiner8571]

Now this is something that is great to find out. Yeahhhhhhhhhhh moonshiners

[@zoerner2341]

The fill under the concrete settled, leaving a void under the concrete. This is not unusual. Unfortunately, this misleading news segement isn't unusual either.

[@OffGridInvestor]

It's got to settle A LOT to leave a decent sized hole. They usually don't settle much. And won't settle at all without significant water getting in there.

[@woodriver648]

They need to figure out a way to put that history back on the track and make it part of the race track.

[@LindysEpiphany]

Running moonshine is how NASCAR began, so its not surprising to find evidence of that. Some very cool history!

[@billmadison2032]

They find a moonshining spot with no moonshining equipment enough said

[@cigarsgunsanddiesel8032]

Feds blew it up decades ago...

[@OzarkRiverBanks]

The ghost of Junior Johnson is there!

[@caderatliff3712]

I saw this on a Dale Earnhardt Jr. episode of Lost Speedways a couple years ago. Fascinating stuff.

[@kellymcclendon6601]

Those dang Dukes.

[@drshoe8744]

They should have Never shut down North Wilkesboro, I was at the last Cup race there and said that this is the beginning of the end of nascar, what a shame, they abandoned the Tracks and the Fans that built the sport, and I will never forget that.

[@lockerracing7121]

Luckily, they started racing there again last year. Brought her back to life.

You need to catch up with the news

[@drshoe8744]

@@wyatberp3611 nascar died with Dale, and that is what I was talking about, I know that racing has started back up there. I stopped watching asscar in 2004 after they sold out and abandoned the fans and don't care what they do.

Nascar. Missing Big here... install a copper still, restore it , sell shine, make a museum under the stands ,

[@napalmholocaust9093]

That ain't proof of 💩 besides they didn't think muti foot thick walls were needed to hold up some drunk spectators when they built it 👎

[@austinfrancis9723]

It’s just a wash out under the stands. This track was abandoned for a long time.

[@Mt24855]

What did they expect that concrete to be solid? Pretty sure all that style of seating would be hollow lol thats alot of weight to pour in one soild piece 😂 anything for a story I guess

[@mrwinston_thepug]

Dale jr is going to love this news. Its because of Dale jr that the track is back in action.

[@andyhamilton8940]

Do reporters go to school to learn how to do all the stupid little cutesy intros for stories?

[@sobbyfrown]

Lol I doubt it. All you gotta know is how to read since they're reading

[@uscitizen5656]

Old news. Dale Jr had this story on his NASCAR show about old tracks 2 years ago!

[@jerrykolosinsky4615]

Nice. What beter bevrage to have on a day out at the races. Who boked the bets after a couple of refreshments besides

I GOT NEWS FOR YA, IT AINT A SECRET NOTHING IF YOUR BLABBIN IT ALL OVER THE TV

Over 2 minutes long? You could've distilled this down a bit

That looks SUSPICIOUSLY like a money counter to the right of him. NOT a printer. I've seen a few in my day.

[@herbertwilliams1608]

Ray Brown would be proud.

[@AppalachianPatriot]

Damnit………they found it.

[@Paul-ik8fm]

Wow, how did they get the moonshine out? Through the cracks, must have been a door surely!!

[@Yukanhayt-Mhenow]

You can't be that dense surely!

[@Paul-ik8fm]

@@Yukanhayt-Mhenow not as much as you

[@Paul-ik8fm]

@Yukanhayt-Mhenow they discovered this "room" because they noticed cracks in the concrete under the seats. if it's got a door to access the "room" to make moonshine and distribute the moonshine it's not a new discovery is it. If it has no door how did they get into the "room"

[@howardcraigiv518]

Now that is Awesome

[@crazyman8472]

Any moonshine left? 😵‍💫

[@CryHavocStudio]

This has been known for years even decades.... Get a clue WFMY!

[@AEMoreira81]

For a station around since 1949, I'm surprised they didn't know.

[@JeffWeselyan]

Incredible

[@cowboyjc11]

I had a feeling Junior had something to do with it before I even watched the video, Ol Junior was quite a guy.

[@Bay0Wulf]

Well … if this publicity helps bring the track back into operation then I’m all for it. However … as much as it might be a good yarn, I have to wonder which producer thought this was a rural legend worth creating …

[@Snakeman19781]

I’d guarantee you, Jr Johnson knew about it

[@dbomber69]

It wasn't for drinking! It was for driving. Fuel for the race cars.

[@dyingmeme6814]

Just to think back when it was a fully operational still site, at any moment that still could explode and shoot a whole section of people sky high 😂

[@bobaque70]

Nascar was founded by Moonshine runners,going back to their roots!

[@brandonhouston3683]

The big news story should be about the meth lab in the pits

[@rolltide9547]

@@ctrlquorkzz415 I said they left which is 100%. Correct. I did not state they never returned. The lesser races came in 23 not the main race. Cup has not been there since 1996. My point is NASCAR made a mistake leaving there.
