I didn't know NASCAR had such series. Was it replaced by Busch series or Truck series?

Crikey, sheltered life?
Moonshine = illegally distilled alcohol, often made in lashed up equipment that sometimes explodes when not looked after properly. Alcohol content varies - typically 60-80%!! Other variations include Potcheen (various spellings) from Ireland. Rob. |

I am not sure if 200 gallons of cold medicine would be enough to get me through the cold N.C. winter.

Caught brewing moonshine in the shadow of the legendary North Wilkesboro track - that's so cool - you just couldn't make it up!
Anyone know if the track is still operating at any level? I know it was mothballed a few years ago. |

I thought Combs comment was funny: "I guess I gave someone a quart I shouldn't have." An acquaintenance of mine has a friend that has a quart of Combs moonshine. I was told that it is first rate stuff. Combs, as I am sure most of you know, was crew chief for Junior Johnson who also lives in that area. |

You just couldn't make it up...
No doubt they'll throw the book at him, in these tax-revenue-driven times, no-one has a sense of humour... they'll never see the irony of it! |
