late models
Running late in the south
Late-model stock car racing is a cornerstone of grassroots motorsports in the southern United States, where short tracks serve as proving grounds for aspiring drivers. Tracks like Hickory Motor Speedway in North Carolina and South Boston Speedway in Virginia have long been breeding grounds for future NASCAR stars. The intense, door-to-door competition on these tight ovals makes late-model racing a fan favorite, with many drivers building their reputations before moving up the ranks. Sanctioning bodies like the CARS Tour and NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series keep the tradition alive, ensuring that late-model stock car racing remains one of the most competitive and entertaining forms of short-track racing in the region.

drag racing

Drag racing is one of the most exciting and accessible forms of motorsports in the United States, with a deep-rooted history dating back to the post-war hot rod culture of the 1950s. From local tracks hosting grassroots bracket racing to the thunderous spectacle of the NHRA Camping World Drag Racing Series, the sport offers something for everyone. Legendary venues like Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park and Gainesville Raceway have become iconic battlegrounds where drivers push the limits of speed and acceleration. Whether it's classic muscle cars, high-tech Pro Stock machines, or 11,000-horsepower Top Fuel dragsters rocketing down the quarter-mile in under four seconds, drag racing continues to captivate fans with its raw power and head-to-head competition.

Classic cars
history in motion
The classic car industry in the United States is a thriving market driven by nostalgia, craftsmanship, and investment potential. From vintage muscle cars like the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro to timeless luxury models from Cadillac and Packard, enthusiasts and collectors are passionate about preserving automotive history. Events like the Barrett-Jackson and Mecum Auctions showcase rare and meticulously restored classics, often fetching six- and seven-figure prices. Meanwhile, restoration shops, parts suppliers, and custom builders keep the industry alive by breathing new life into aging machines. With a growing interest in restomods—classic cars modernized with contemporary performance and technology—the industry continues to evolve, blending heritage with innovation.
