The brand new Moonshine and Motorsports Trail will be featured as the primary sponsor on the JD Motorsports number 6 car driven by Brennan Poole at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 27th. This is on Memorial Day weekend, the day before the Coca Cola 600.
There will also be a showcar on display featuring this scheme this weekend at North Wilkesboro Speedway. Youtuber Eric Estepp will be at a meetup by this car scheduled for 3 PM ET on Sunday May 21st.
The Moonshine and Motorsports Trail highlights the history of some of North Carolina’s biggest industries: stock car racing and moonshining. Current stops on the trail include Occoneechee Speedway, the NASCAR Hall of Fame, Rockingham Speedway, North Wilkesboro Speedway, Museum of the Albemarle, Stone Mountain State Park, the North Carolina Museum of History, and, of course, Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Eric Estepp has been featuring the Moonshine and Motorsports Trail on his YouTube Channel. He started the trail at the NASCAR Hall of Fame while also paying a visit to RFK Racing.
From there, Eric blazed a bit of his own trail. He would spend a day at the North Carolina Auto Racing Hall of Fame in Mooresville. Not an official stop on the trail, but still a worthwhile stop for fans of North Carolina Auto Racing history.
From there, Eric went to the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh, which also houses the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame. He also stopped by to see North Carolina Racing royalty at the Petty Museum in Level Cross.
Eric will be highlighting more of the Moonshine and Motorsports trail in more videos throughout the month of May. For more information on the Moonshine and Motorsports trail, visit the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources website.
