This is part 2 of the 3 part series American Stock: The Golden Era Of NASCAR, we featured part 1 last Sunday (you can click here to see it if you missed it) and we’ll be featuring the 3rd part next week.
The early years of NASCAR are amongst the most entertaining of any motor racing series in the world, I’ve always loved the stories of the early amateur drivers with their rag-tag teams, shoestring budgets and cars held together with duct tape, questionable welding and chewing gum.
Ben has had his work featured on CNN, Popular Mechanics, Smithsonian Magazine, Road & Track Magazine, the official Pinterest blog, the official eBay Motors blog, BuzzFeed, and many more.
Silodrome was founded by Ben back in 2010, in the years since the site has grown to become a world leader in the alternative and vintage motoring sector, with millions of readers around the world and many hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.
