Abstract:
Lowrider is a word that describes an elaborately customized car lowered to almost ground-scraping levels and the individuals who build and drive them. Ruben Olmos of Burlington in Alamance County received a 2009 Brown-Hudson Folklore Award from the North Carolina Folklore Society for his role in raising the profile of lowriding in North Carolina and throughout the South.
