As the second-oldest NASCAR track still running weekly races, Greenville-Pickens has earned a unique niche in racing history. In 1959, local driver David Pearson sped to a record 15 victories in one season, jump-starting a Hall of Fame career. As a young boy, Dale Earnhardt played in the infield while his father, Ralph, raced to the track championship in 1965. In 1971, ABC�s Wide World of Sports televised the first live, start-to-finish NASCAR race at Greenville-Pickens. Many big names have competed here, but for every David Pearson and Richard Petty, there have been dozens of Donnie Bishops and Toby Porters: local favorites providing weekly thrills for a loyal fan base.
