True Story - Stock Car Racing.

Shadows Of Pavements presents The True Story Of Stock Car Racing. Stock car racing in the United States has it´s origins in bootlegging during Prohibition, when drivers ran bootleg whiskey made primarily in the Appalachian region of the United States. Bootleggers needed to distribute their illicit products, and they typically used small , fast vehicles to better evade the police. Many of the drivers would modify their cars f, or speed and handling, as well as increased cargo capacity, and some of them came to love the fast-paced driving down twisty mountain roads.


The repeal of Prohibition in 1933 dried up some of their business, but then Southerners had developed a taste for moonshine and a number of the drivers continued "runnin shine". The cars continued to improve, and by the late 1940s, races featuring these cars were being run for pride and profit. These races were popular entertainment in the rural Southern United States, Most races in those days were of modified cars. Street vehicles were lightened and reinforced. The true story bind todays Stock Car Racing!
