From 1960 until the final checkered flag on September 17, 1999, watching and participating in stock car races at AMS was a beloved pastime for many across WNC.
This event is all about inviting community members to share their stories and memories with each other and the archive.

We especially encourage folks with special connections to AMS to join us! And to wear your AMS gear!
Make sure to race down to the library to check out the North Carolina Moonshine and Motorsports exhibit on display at Pack Memorial Library throughout September.
