Back to NASCAR grass roots

So when the police went to a shop building behind a go-kart track near North Wilkesboro Speedway the other day, they ran up on a 300-gallon still, 1,150 gallons of corn mash, 200 gallons of corn liquor and 3,000 pounds of sugar.

Dean Combs, a 57-year-old former NASCAR driver and crew chief, owned the property and was charged with making non-tax paid liquor and possessing ingredients and equipment to manufacture non-tax paid liquor. The still was so large that instead of removing it from the site, Division of Alcohol Law Enforcement agents called in the bomb squad to destroy it.

True traditions never die.
