Having both historic NASCAR and Grand National cars serve as the featured marque for 2021 is a fitting tribute for Road America as the NASCAR XFINITY Series has raced at the fabled four-mile 14-turn circuit since 2010. However, most NASCAR fans aren’t old enough to remember when NASCAR racing came to Wisconsin. The date was Sunday, August 12, 1956, and at the urging of Carl Kiekhaefer of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, the Grand National Division (now NASCAR Cup) ran the 37th event 56 that counted towards the championship battle. Many of the 26 drivers who took the green flag that day read like a who’s who of the early days in NASCAR racing – Lee Petty, Junior Johnson, Buck Baker, and Fireball Roberts were a few notables. Still, Tim Flock took the checkered flag, in the rain, driving a Mercury, at a speed of a top speed of 71.4 mph.
