BREAK/FIX the Motorsports & Vehicle Enthusiast Podcast
Leisure:Automotive
Buz McKim, formerly historian at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, N.C., is a distinguished figure in the motorsports world and a much sought-after speaker at motorsports gatherings. Mr. Kim served as director of archives for International Speedway Corporation and as coordinator of statistical services for NASCAR. He is the author of The NASCAR Vault: An Official History Featuring Rare Collectables from Motorsports Images and Archives.
Mr. McKim's presentation explores the origins of modified stock car racing in the illegal distribution of untaxed adult beverages, or "moonshine." He recounts the development of NASCAR in 1949 and its evolution in the 1950s from a truly "stock" competition to a manufacturer-supported testing ground for advances in the engineering and design of American automobiles. Mr. McKim's talk describes the irony of how the automotive engineering modifications inspired by "wild country boys" led to all-around improvements in automotive technology.
