Text Box: 4thAnnual Legends Helping Legends of Racing The 4thAnnual Legends Helping Legends of Racing will be held on Sunday, March 14, 2010. The event will take place at Memory Lane Museum located at 769 River Hwy., Mooresville, NC 28117. The event will run from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. This year’s event will honor Rex White, the oldest living NASCAR Grand National champion. Rex White was selected as one of NASCAR’s Top Fifty Greatest Drivers. Rex White won the 1960 NASCAR Championship, beating Richard Petty by almost 4,000 points in the fight for the title. Rex raced from 1956 to 1964 with 233 Starts, 28 Wins, and 36 poles. Rex finished second to Ned Jarrett in the 1962 NASCAR Championship. Rex is a great friend to the racing community and is still very active today in his support of the sport of stock car racing. We feel privileged to honor not only a great driver, but a great individual, such as Rex White. Weather permitting there will be a vintage race car show in the parking lot outside of Memory Lane Museum. Dozens of legendary drivers and racing personalities will be available throughout the event to visit with fans. (See list of drivers attending below!)
