Historyfeels: The Podcast

Moonshine Kings and the Birth of NASCAR. Part 2

23 min • 11 november 2022

In our last episode (Part 1) we told a bit of the history of American moonshine, the drink that was known as “White Lightning” was a staple for survival on the American Frontier dating all the way back to the Revolution.

After prohibition gave the whole country a taste for the liquor, a new and dangerous profession emerged as drivers were called on to transport the valuable drink from the backwoods to the cities. Young men of the south mastered driving cars filled with moonshine, all while outrunning federal agents trying to bring down their operation.
