NASCARs to star at Laguna Seca

July 7, 2014

A race for NASCAR stock cars of the late 1960s and early ’70s will be a feature of the 2010 Monterey Historic Automobile Races taking place at Laguna Seca on August 12-15.

The biggest historic racing festival in North America has four headline races for the 2010 edition. Formula 1 cars from 1966-83 will share top billing with Trans-Am cars from 1966-72, a Bugatti Grand Prix and the NASCAR race for drum-braked cars from 1966-75.

“We anticipate cars of great heritage and, for the first time, NASCARs with drum brakes,” said Gill Campbell from Laguna Seca Raceway.

Here is a man who goes racing every weekend from March to October. Paul’s passion for the sport goes back to when he was a child of the 1960s. He has organised, competed in and marshalled on scores of events, and has written about the subject for 20 years. He is as at home in the paddock at Brands Hatch as in a Welsh forest or at Shelsley Walsh.
