WINSTON-SALEM -- Bowman Gray Stadium is one of stock car racing's most legendary venues. Since 1949, NASCAR-sanctioned races at the quarter-mile flat, oval track have seen the likes of Richard Petty, Junior Johnson, Bobby Allison and David Pearson.

And the fans at Bowman Gray are second to none.

On a typical race night at Bowman Gray, fans are treated to a spectacular show at NASCAR's longest running weekly race track.

Last year the History Channel show, "Madhouse," documented the lives of Bowman Gray drivers last year for the nation to see, thus captivating even more fans.

Mathew and Kori Wilson made the seven and a half-hour drive from Middlefield, Ohio, to see their favorites, the Myers brothers, race in person.

"We saw the show on the History Channel, like the third episode in, and we were hooked," said Mathew Wilson. "We were like, we've got to go down and see this. It's actually my birthday weekend so this is what we decided to do."

The fan base for the Whelen All-American Series drivers also includes local families like James Mobley and Bridget Akins, who bring their three girls along to every race.

"Seriously, I think we've only missed two races in a year and a half, mainly because we met Jonathon "John Boy" Brown outside of here fishing one day," said Akins. "We've been hooked ever since."

The 20,000-seat venue, which doubles as Winston-Salem State's football stadium, is always jam-packed with fans on the edge of those seats.

The drivers put their blood, sweat and tears into this track and the Modified division at Bowman Gray is known as one of the toughest divisions to survive in, let alone win.

"We really take pride here in having a really good show, and if anyone comes out, they'll see it really is good family entertainment," said Loren Penilis, the public relations director at Bowman Gray. "It's exciting, it's close, it's up tight racing. You can see everything. It's just the type of thing where we get people coming once just to check it out and the next thing you know they're hooked and they come back the next week and the week after that. Forty years later they're still here with their family."

Although Madhouse did not get renewed for a second season, another reality show following drivers that race at tracks like Bowman Gray starts in September on BET. "Changing Lanes" will feature 30 minority and female drivers in NASCAR's Drive for Diversity program vying for four spots at Revolution Racing in Mooresville, NC.
