The track at Bowman Gray Stadium is gleaming thanks to work from the city of Winston-Salem with help from NASCAR ahead of the venue’s first NASCAR race in 54 years.

The first Cup race was held in 1958 and won by Bob Welborn. Rex White's six victories is the Cup Series record. Hall of Famer Glen Wood won four times — and logged a total of 29 victories across all divisions — and his sons remember the fun they had watching Daddy race at one of the most volatile circuits in NASCAR.
