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.
