Prohibition ended, but the drivers, the mechanics, and the money didn't disappear — they built a sport. Bootleggers stopped outrunning cops and started racing each other. Most people don't know moonshine is the DNA of stock car racing.

Raymond Parks left home at 14 to learn the moonshine trade. He was quiet, careful, and good at it — accumulating wealth without accumulating enemies. When he had enough, he didn’t spend it. He invested it in stock car racing, a sport populated almost entirely by men who’d learned to drive running liquor. The first race ever held under NASCAR’s banner was won by a driver Parks bankrolled. He never drove a lap himself. He just had the vision to see where the money should go.
