They should preserve this for all time. It's like a holy grotto for stock car racing.

All that alcohol that the spectators (and drivers) were drinking during that era had to come from somewhere! Does anyone think there weren’t copious amounts of alcohol being consumed while those drivers were doing some truly crazy driving during those years?
I know my Dad and uncles would slip away for a bit and come back with a Mason jar that they would sip on for the evening. The entire crowd would get crazier and louder as the evening wore on.

Build a chapel over the site of the Holy Still.
Or maybe a basilica.

I’ve heard that NC is the moonshine capital of the world. Back in the day I had a buddy bring by a case from there every Christmas when he came home to see his momma. Popcorn Sutton recipe. 2 bubble shake test. Yowee!

Having been raised in the Carolinas’ and been heavily into NASCAR back when it was actually watchable, I submit that I’d have been more surprised if there HADN’T been one. 😏

There's a Popcorn Sutton memorial music festival that's held every summer around western North Carolina/east Tennessee. This year's Popcorn Sutton Jam is going to be June 7-8 at Cocke County Fairgrounds in Newport, TN.
I've been to a few of these before and it's always been fun. Lots of good stuff like music and demonstrations. I may go again this year.

Should have kept it quiet. Under this regime, Garland is likely to send the BATF in to seize the property for tax liability on the suspected likker.

I think my bud played there once with Michelle Lee, I think her name was. He is Zachary T. He quit performing and finished med school. He’s outside of Ashville these days.

I grew up in a house that was built in 1917. There was a liquor chamber in the basement that was only accessible through a trap door from the 1st floor.

The sign said that racetrack was built in 1947.
Prohibition was repealed in 1933. Something seems amiss about this story of bootlegging!🤨
