It was in April of 1992 that the first Legend 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 Legend Cars have become one of the
fastest growing segments of motorsports today. With drivers being classified
into four different divisions, Legend Cars is THE racing opportunity that
is available to anyone. The Pro Division is for the experienced drivers.
The Masters Division features is for 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!
