North South Shootout

Located in Lexington, NC 27292

In the late 90s, Charles Kepley began to envision an unsanctioned modified racing event that was free from the constraints that were imposed by NASCAR rules, and that enable drivers from different sanctioning bodies to compete in a single showcase event. The concept was to pit the northern asphalt modified drivers against southern racers.

As talk of this outlaw racing event generated buzz in the racing world, it started to come together throughout 2002, during which time, Charles and his top notch crew of racing advisors were able to line up major sponsorship. The event was officially announced at Speedweeks 2003, and the North South Shootout was born.

The first event featured the best of the best of the best open-wheeled asphalt modified drivers from the north and south. 63 cars showed up to compete for the inaugural North South Shootout crown.
At the end of the day John Blewett III took the checkered flag.
