Hats Off! to Tom Wood whose article "Days of Slumber," about the reopening of the Nashville Speedway, appeared in last week's Nashville Ledger. The Nashville Speedway was shuttered in 2011, but in June, 2021, will host a NASCAR Cup Series race for the first time since 1984 at the old Nashville Fairgrounds short track. Charlotte author Rick Helms, an avid motorsports fan and a former driver himself who now competes in Simracing—racing cars online using computers and realistic wheels and pedals—is interviewed in the story.
