Ray Cook’s Tri-County Race Track in Brasstown, NC is well worth the drive of just over two hours from the Knoxville area. The track features racing every other Friday night with six classes in competition. Also, the concession stands serve the best BBQ sandwich I have ever eaten.
Here are some photos of the three Late Model classes(Super, Limited and Crate) that are regularly raced as part of the semi-weekly program.
Drivers spin a “Wheel of Misfortune” to determine heat and qualifying lineups.
