According to folklore, when Richard Petty raced there in the 1960's, he had a hard time with a certain corner (the first left hander), running off track more than once, and now they call it Nascar Corner.

That's from memory. I tried to find something about it via Google but couldn't, so maybe I'm full of it. :-)

I don't know anyone who has every raced there and not been impressed. It's one of the best tracks, for sure.
