For decades, rumors have circulated that historic North Wilkesboro Speedway was the site of a secret moonshine still. Now some Wilkes County locals may have more reason to say ‘I told you so,’ as a possible moonshine cave has been discovered underneath the concrete frontstretch grandstands.

Uhmm…no photos of this cave or even hole? What a wasted opportunity.

It looks like it's fully behind the concrete, they might have just used a drone or snake camera or something to take a look. I hope they give us some photos once they get in.

Clicking the picture in the news article expands it to show the entrance. Really bad website design.

makes all kinds of sense, because NASCAR was basically started by bootleggers who were also the biggest hotrodders in the South

Blah blah blah that's where the Clefairies and helix fossils (hail helix!) are, right?

Moonshine cave? So it's like the Bat Cave, but for moonshine?
