"Mysterious Moonshine Cave Uncovered at North Wilkesboro Speedway"
Workers at North Wilkesboro Speedway discovered a 700-square-foot "moonshine cave" underneath the Grandstand while inspecting damage caused by a sinkhole. Believed to be a remnant of a secret moonshine operation, the discovery has sparked interest in the area's history and legends. The underground moonshine industry flourished in Wilkes County in the 1930s and 1940s, and rumors about the cave's existence have circulated for decades. The Speedway officials are assessing the next steps and considering repairs ahead of the upcoming NASCAR All-Star Race week in May.
