What are Legends Cars?
Legends Car racing is a style of race car, designed primarily to promote exciting racing and to keep costs down. The fiberglass body shells are 5/8-scale replicas of American automobiles from the 1930s and 1940s, powered by a Yamaha motorcycle engine. The sanctioning body for Legends Car racing is called INEX, which stands for “INEX”pensive. The cars all have the same specifications, with the only variable (in theory) being the body style. They also have a lot more power than grip, which ensures exciting racing. History In 1992, Lowe’s Motor Speedway (formerly Charlotte Motor Speedway) officials noticed a need for lower cost racing cars with little maintenance time and cost. The first Legends car was unveiled in April 1992 at Lowe’s by track President and General Manager Humpy Wheeler and road racer Elliott Forbes-Robinson. The cars were designed to be 5/8-scale cars raced in the past in the NASCAR Modified Tour. Legends Cars are produced by 600 Racing, Inc. in Harrisburg, North Caroli
