When looking for NASCAR race tickets this year, stop by VividSeats.com. They have Indy 500 tickets for sale and specialize in auto racing events at tracks across the country. A vintage racing photo site for lovers of old race cars - Kilbey's Vintage Racing Photos. We truly love photos of vintage race cars from the local short tracks and NASCAR as well. Here you will find a huge archive of vintage racing photos with the primary focus on stock car racing photos. One of our best features is the Bobby Varnon Collection. Bobby has been racing and building race cars in the southeast for many years and has accumulated a giant collection of racing photos throughout that time. Bobby was kind enough to allow us to scan and post many photos from his collection. The majority of Bobby's Collection of stock car racing photos comes from Huntsville Speedway. There are also photos from Birmingham International Raceway and the Moore's Mill "outlaw track" in this collection, as well as many NASCAR stock car related photos. This stock car racing photo archive also features many racing photos from the old Melbourne Speedway in Melbourne, Florida. Melbourne Speedway opened in 1957 as "The Spinning Wheel Speedway". One time owner/promoter Bill Posey "seems to recall a (spinning?) wheel/tire clearing the catch fence on opening night and killing a spectator in the main grandstands". The Speedway was also known as Brevard Speedway and Eau Gallie Speedway in earlier years. Melbourne Speedway closed several years ago. Special thanks to Senator Bill Posey (R, FL) for the photos and captions.
Of course there are many racing photos from Huntsville Speedway in Huntsville, Alabama. Nearly all of the vintage racing photos are from the massive Bobby Varnon Collection. Huntsville Speedway also had a few other names, including Sportsman's Speedway, Huntsville International Speedway, Huntsville Motor Speedway and more recently Huntsville Speedway. Huntsville Speedway is considered one of the finest and fastest short tracks in the southeast due in large part to the complete remodeling of the track by former owners Ron and Bruce Stone. |
