00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:04.021
This Sunday is the NASCAR All Star races in North

00:00:04.091 --> 00:00:04.719
Carolina.

00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:06.600
Madison, Allworth is there for us.

00:00:06.760 --> 00:00:08.640
All right, Madison, you took a ride on the track.

00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:12.120
What was it like, Stewart?

00:00:12.120 --> 00:00:13.640
It was thrilling.

00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:16.360
It was also absolutely terrifying.

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:18.400
I'll let the video speak for itself.

00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.160
OK, so yeah, sorry if I blew out any eardrums.

00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:33.400
Next to me is the driver, Lane Riggs.

00:00:33.400 --> 00:00:34.600
He's a Truck Series driver.

00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:37.570
He competed in his first race when he was just

00:00:37.629 --> 00:00:38.520
four years old.

00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:40.560
His dad also drove for NASCAR.

00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:42.661
So I got to ask him what it's like to

00:00:42.718 --> 00:00:45.160
follow in his footsteps or his tire tracks.

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:45.920
See what I did there?

00:00:48.400 --> 00:00:50.000
You grew up with racing, right?

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.034
Like your dad was a racer, So how does it

00:00:52.084 --> 00:00:54.218
feel to be back on such an iconic track and

00:00:54.268 --> 00:00:55.359
to be racing yourself?

00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:56.978
Yeah, he never got to really race here back in

00:00:57.012 --> 00:00:57.280
the day.

00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:58.560
It was closed down during that era.

00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:00.766
So in this place, it's basically become a brand new

00:01:00.809 --> 00:01:02.279
racetrack after they've redone it.

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:04.280
So yeah, I've raced here twice now.

00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.271
It's one of my favorite places, has a lot of

00:01:06.312 --> 00:01:06.719
character.

00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:10.640
And take a look at what he's talking about.

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:14.560
This track actually predates the sport of NASCAR itself.

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.880
But for 30 years, it laid dormant and empty.

00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.553
But the local fans, they never forgot about it and

00:01:20.602 --> 00:01:22.160
brought it back to life in 2022.

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:23.840
And now we are here.

00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.582
It looks like a brand new facility for the third

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:27.840
annual All Star race.

00:01:27.880 --> 00:01:30.536
And this is a race that's loved by locals because

00:01:30.590 --> 00:01:33.679
this is NASCAR country and local businesses also love it.

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:37.088
Seth Cohen, he owns restaurants and breweries in town and

00:01:37.147 --> 00:01:40.316
he was actually able to open up a additional location

00:01:40.376 --> 00:01:43.784
this year because of all the business that NASCAR brought

00:01:43.844 --> 00:01:45.160
in And I have with me.

00:01:45.160 --> 00:01:47.537
Now his special beer he's going to be cheering on

00:01:47.585 --> 00:01:49.719
this weekend and providing some great brews.

00:01:49.880 --> 00:01:51.400
This is the last lap logger.

00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:54.202
You can see it matches the color of of the

00:01:54.266 --> 00:01:55.479
Speedway perfectly.

00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.813
And Sue, I'd bring it back for you, but I

00:01:57.863 --> 00:02:00.718
followed the Stewart travel rule, which is only one carry

00:02:00.769 --> 00:02:01.320
on allowed.

00:02:01.320 --> 00:02:03.720
So obviously this is over the liquid limit.

00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:05.720
So I'm just going to have to enjoy it here,

00:02:05.766 --> 00:02:07.720
but I'll enjoy it in your honour, Stewart.

00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:08.560
Thank you very much.

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:08.960
Indeed.

00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.831
The rules are take the first flight out, never check

00:02:11.886 --> 00:02:14.592
baggage and make sure you get a direct flight and

00:02:14.647 --> 00:02:15.200
that's it.

00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:16.920
Have a great time, Madison.

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:17.880
We'll see you when you come back.
