NASCARs to star at Laguna Seca

A race for NASCAR stock cars of the late 1960s and early ’70s will be a feature of the 2010 Monterey Historic Automobile Races taking place at Laguna Seca on August 12-15.

The biggest historic racing festival in North America has four headline races for the 2010 edition. Formula 1 cars from 1966-83 will share top billing with Trans-Am cars from 1966-72, a Bugatti Grand Prix and the NASCAR race for drum-braked cars from 1966-75.

“We anticipate cars of great heritage and, for the first time, NASCARs with drum brakes,” said Gill Campbell from Laguna Seca Raceway.
