Abstract:

"For nearly 70 years, a racetrack in Cleveland County has rumbled with the thunder of drag racing -- and one man's love of speed, family, and red clay." Ronnie Buff purchased Shadyside Dragway in 1980. It remains a throwback to North Carolina's red-clay auto-racing roots. Buff's grandsons, Zach, Set, Bryson and Lennie have managed the business since his death at age 68. Shadyside began in1958 with Marshall and Travis Hamrick and is located in Shelby.
