Within the gates of historic Bowman Gray Stadium sits a ¼ mile bullring that hosts some of the most entertaining racing on the planet. Some say it’s too wild while others simply can’t get enough. One thing everyone agrees on is that there’s a reason why they call it “The Madhouse”.

Actually, the series "Madhouse" was originally on History Channel over a decade ago. "Race Night at Bowman Gray" was on Discovery around 5 years ago.

I love everything about Bowman Gray and I NEED to make it out there one day. I love the contact and the fist fights, but I honestly can't stand when they turn it into a demo derby under caution.

Went up there yesterday afternoon and there wasn’t an open parking space within 3/4 of mile of the stadium, and both sides of the street had a steady stream of race fans headed towards the stadium! Absolute traffic gridlock from all the thousands of people trying to get in there on top of the 20,000 that were already in there! I just headed back home - I don’t think they missed me! Ha! It’s so crazy that so many short tracks have gone belly up, or are on the brink of it, but this place sells out!!! The haters love to talk trash about BGS, but I’ll bet their local bullrings total yearly attendance wouldn’t add up to what this place does in one night! And I’d venture to say that if those haters spent just one summer Saturday night in the stands, they’d understand! It’s unlike anything else in racing!

I grew up in Winston from the late 60's until I went to college and went to so many races. The high school I went to had thier football games there at the time (RJ Reynolds). Still go by it on occasion. Iconic track!

I been saying it for a while now. Vice or someone needs to do a real documentary on dirt track racing and how those Dirt Tracks shaped many little southern towns and City’s. Dirt Track Racing cannot be described by words. Ain’t Nothing Like it in the World. Thats why our Family Loves it. Ain’t nothing like the smell of some fresh dirt and Racing Fuel baby 💪🏻

Honest question.....has anyone (driver or otherwise) been seriously hurt or killed at this track? The sportsmanship that seem to be the norm at this track surely breeds the potential for something very very bad to happen.

Regarding choosing tires, I wonder what type of environments and changes they've went thru before ever getting to the trailer at the track. If they're worried about heat cycles sitting in the trailer, it be interesting to know the different cycles various tires have been thru since coming off the manufacturing line. 🤷🏼‍♂️

That place is a joke! People go for the fights, not racing. You can’t race there without moving people and that starts drama and that’s why people are there. Any other track in the country that shit is frowned upon, except here because this intact isn’t racing. It’s follow the guy in front of you until ya take em out and a fight starts
