You are already far, far ahead of the power curve, knowing more about the origins of stock car racing than the vast majority of those claiming to "stock car racing historians" -- to say nothing of the stock car racing journalists those who are fans. The entire business about the Stockbridge track has long been proven to be a myth, yet you would not know it from what continues to be written by many journalists and accepted by the fans. However, this is a topic I will delve into later.
