Running illegal moonshine created great drivers and cars, and stock car racing started to gain some traction as a sport. So much so that the community of Daytona Beach would host their first-ever stock car race. Soon a driver named Bill France would be organising regular races there. It wouldn't be long though until Atlanta challenged Daytona as the centre of the stock car racing world, producing drivers, and bootleggers such as Lloyd “Lighting Seay and "Reckless Roy" Hall.

There have been times when NASCAR has not wanted people to know their early history. That’s because the people who built NASCAR, drove the cars, built the cars and financed it, were deeply involved in one illegal industry. Moonshine. To avoid law enforcement and tax collectors, moonshiner makers employed bootleggers, young men who could outrun those trying to stop them. Soon, a thought occurred, what if we get these great drivers to race against each other? Titus has a live show in Melbourne on 21 June. You can get tickets here.
