RACING EXPO
The 25th Annual
Piedmont Racing Expo will
add a new dimension to the
format for its Silver
Anniversary edition, January
14-15 at the State
Fairgrounds in Raleigh , NC
. Promoter Phillip Walker, a
veteran racer himself, is
seeking drivers who raced at
the “Raleigh Fairgrounds
Speedway” which was open
from 1955-1970. Walker also
wants to get copies of any race
memorabilia, photos, or
programs from the famed
speedway.
NC Governor Bev Perdue
and NASCAR Hall of Fame
member Junior Johnson
unveiled a commemorative
DOT Marker Sign during the
State Fair in October,
recognizing the 1⁄2 mile dirt
oval that was located on the
fairgrounds property. Walker
stated that he spoke with
Junior Johnson at the season
ending race at Myrtle Beach
Speedway last Sunday, with
Johnson proudly stating that
he won the first NASCAR
race at the fairgrounds track.
Other notable winners were
David Pearson in 1969 and
Richard Petty in 1970. The
track also ran weekly races
with Haskell Willingham
driving for Preacher Cox
being one of the most
successful weekly drivers.
The track’s footprint still
exists, but has been
transformed for parking and
an area for the “Midway”
during the State Fair.
In addition to the
Piedmont Racing Expo shorttrack
trade show and auction,
Walker will sponsor a Racer’s
Reunion for drivers that
competed at the track.
Drivers who are able to take
part in the program and
autograph sessions, or
anyone who has photos,
articles, or other memorabilia
are asked to contact Walker
via email at
pwalker@phillipwalkerauctions.com,
or phone at 919-215-3351
The Piedmont Racing
Expo is open from 1-9pm on
Friday, January 14, and from
8am-5pm on Saturday,
January 15. Admission is $10
with ladies and kids 12 and
under free. For more info, see
