LEGENDS RACING IN THE UK

History of the sport:
In 1992, the officials at Lowes Motor Speedway (formerly Charlotte Motor Speedway) began noticing a need for affordable racecars that requires little maintenance time and cost.

It was then in April of 1992 that the first Legends Car was unveiled at the Lowe’s Motor Speedway.

Track President and General Manager Humpy Wheeler and Elliott Forbes-Robinson, famed road racing champion, designed these 5/8-scale fiberglass full-fendered versions of NASCAR modifieds driven by drivers such as Fireball Roberts, Buck Baker, Curtis Turner, Speedy Thompson and Banjo Matthews.

Drivers can being classified into four different divisions:

The Pro Division is for the experienced drivers.

The Masters Division features drivers 40 years and older.

The Semi-Pro Division is the novice class, featuring the drivers that are new to the sport or have been inactive in other forms of racing for a while.

Then there is the Young Lions Division which is designated for the drivers between the ages of 12 and 16.

The Legends Cars are produced by 600 Racing, Inc. in Harrisburg, North Carolina. Currently they are the largest mass producer of racecars in the world.

There are now Legends Cars series all over the world including the British Championship.

This runs 15 round and a World Championship Challenge.

Competitors have the chance to travel to San Fransisco to race.
