"The Madhouse": one of NASCAR's oldest short tracks, with loud, close-quarters Saturday night racing in summer.
Bowman Gray Stadium is a quarter-mile flat track wrapped around a football field – and one of the most famous short tracks in NASCAR history. Locals call it the Madhouse for a reason: tight racing, plenty of bumping and a crowd that takes it personally.
Plan it
Racing usually runs on summer Saturday nights. Bring ear protection for kids, arrive early for good seats and check the official schedule before you go.
