The museum, which has been recognized by the state legislature as the official home of the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame, recognizes prominent members of Georgia’s racing heritage.
The first area of the Museum is known as The Alley. Here you will see the first NASCAR race car driven by Bill Elliott, moonshine cars and a car driven by the late Casey Elliott, son of Sheila and Ernie Elliott and nephew of Bill Elliott. You will also see the car owned by Raymond Parks and driven by Lloyd Seay and the Gober Sosebee ’39 Ford, which won Daytona 3 times. Next, you will enter the Saturday Night Drive-In Theater, a period-themed “Drive In” experience where guests sit in old cars and on tailgates to view our movie made especially for the GRHOF telling of the evolution of stock car racing from moonshining and tripping down Hwy. 9
Participation in Museum Day is open to any tax-exempt or governmental museum or cultural venue on a voluntary basis.
