This Month’s Issue: NC Motorsports

When it comes to motorsports in North Carolina, most would think NASCAR, and rightfully so—stock car racing is our Official State Sport, with roots primarily in NC (we give a nod to an early dirt track in Taking a Lap Among the Pines). But another motorsport draws fans to arenas across the state, often billed as main events at county fairs: demolition derbies. Learn more about derbies, and meet a few drivers, in Crunch Time at the Demolition Derby. Also, don’t miss the first in our electric vehicle adventures series Charging Up Along the Coast.
