Bowman Gray Stadium is NASCAR's very first weekly track, a famed quarter-mile where the sound of roaring engines and cheering fans has been heard since 1949.  Racing at Bowman Gray Stadium was started by Bill France, Sr., and Alvin Hawkins, two men who were the founding fathers of NASCAR itself.  Four classes of competition take the stage at Bowman Gray Stadium which includes the Modified Division, Sportsman Division, Street Stock Division, and Stadium Stock Division.  Every Saturday night in the spring and summer thousands of fans pack the stands to see multiple storylines, multiple battles for the checkered flag, multiple moves for the finish line, and multiple reasons to stand on their feet.  Located conveniently in downtown Winston-Salem, NC, historic Bowman Gray Stadium is the definition of excellence in short track racing.  Bowman Gray Stadium is owned by the city of Winston-Salem and operated as a racing venue by NASCAR.
