It
was in April of 1992 that the first Legends Car
was unveiled at the Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
The concept of creating a fun and affordable “spec”
class of racing for anyone to participate in was
born. President and General Manager of LMS, H.A.
“Humpy” Wheeler and Elliott Forbes-Robinson,
famed road racing champion, designed these 5/8-scale
fiberglass full-fendered versions of the famed NASCAR
modifieds driven by legendary drivers such as Fireball
Roberts, Buck Baker, Curtis Turner, Speedy Thompson
and Banjo Matthews.
Since
that time, the Legends Cars have become one of the
fastest growing segments of motorsports today. With
drivers being classified into four different divisions,
Legends Cars is THE racing opportunity that is available
to anyone! The Pro Division is for the experienced
drivers. The Masters Division features drivers 40
years and older. The Semi-Pro Division is the novice
class, featuring the drivers that are new to the
sport or have been inactive in other forms of racing
for a while. Then there is the Young Lions Division
which is designated for the drivers between the
ages of 12 and 16. Since the car stays the same
from division to division, it is the driver that
makes the difference!
