So who has a photo from Clay City to share on here?

Anybody have photos from way back in the 1960s or 1970s??????

Would love to see an image or two we hadn't seen before!!!

Congratulations to living legends Vern LeFevers and Chuck McWilliams on your pending induction into the Kentucky Motorsports Hall of Fame. Ceremony will be in November in Central City.

Shared to honor the self-described “tall, skinny yankee,” legendary dirt superstar Larry Moore who took his final checkered flag on Thursday. One of the best ever, I still remember him winning at Clay City in the Don Thompson #27 Monte Carlo. He wrote about that in his book “On Top of the World.”
Rest in peace.

I just uncovered some 1968 Clay City race results by complete accident. This was when CCR ran NASCAR modified points.

July 14, 1968 - Carl Stone won 30-lap feature
July 21, 1968 - Carl Stone (1966 Chevelle) won 30-lap feature, JC Stone (68 Chevelle) was second and Rocky Arnette (Chevelle) third
Sept. 22, 1968 - Ralph Latham won a 33-lap feature (probably Ruth Motors Chevelle)
Sept. 29, 1968 - Armon Smith (Buddy Crouch Plymouth) won a 30-lap feature with Ralph Latham second and Joe Burdette third
Oct. 13, 1968 - Ralph Latham won 30-lap feature, with Armon Smith second and Bill Kimmel third(says 55 Chevy but pretty sure it was a 55 Ford with Chevy power).

We already knew Carl Stone was the track and Kentucky NASCAR points champion in 1968

"Borrowed" the new cover of Butter at Glen Este back in the 1960s. Michael LeFevers unearthed this jewel and had to share it. Believed to be a Stan Jeffrey photo. BB was my dad's favorite driver.

Long time, no post. Work is killing me but I am back working on Kentucky history and one or more books on the subject. Found this recently on a Kentucky blog page. I don't remember ever hearing about this track and apparently they weren't open long. I don't recall passing it whenever we went to Lost Creek. I've borrowed a couple of their posts after seeing a couple names I remember to see if anyone else has any information. They also said Reese Foster raced and won there.

So who wants to share a favorite Scott Bloomquist memory?

08/17/2024

We extend our deepest sympathies to the family, friends and fans of Scott Bloomquist who perished this morning in a plane crash on his Mooresburg, Tenn., property. As most of you know, Bloomer was a frequent visitor to Clay City and, more often than not, took home most of the money. He was an all-time talent. As I said on my personal page, if dirt had a Mt. Rushmore, there is no doubt Scott would be there, long hair and all. He was truly the Dale Earnhardt of dirt. As good or better than anyone who ever raced, he had half the fans screaming for him and the rest were booing. He sold the most t-shirts and changed the sport immensely through his technical innovations and his never-ending search for an advantage. Race on Zero. RIP.
