I saw Tyler Reddick win a summer national feature there when he was 16. I’m sure outlaw late models will put on a good show. Type of place a local/regional type stands a chance of winning.

Chatham you now touched on a subject that I haven't thought of in a while. Mountain Dew wasn't heard of back in the day in that area. There were competing companies who dominated the market for sure. Ski & Sundrop were the two and the local taverns were known as a Ski tavern or a Sundrop Tavern.
Which reminds me that I need to get a hit of Ski.
A lot of arguments on which one was the best.
I could drink either one of them but Ski was my favorite. Ah the good ole days.
