Support the Stock Car Racing Collection in Honor or Memory of a Loved One

Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Lee Johnson, Sr., long time friends of the Stock Car Racing Collection, have made a gift to the Collection in memory of their grandson, Colton Ayscue. The gift was used to purchase a book for the Collection, and a gift plate honoring Colton and his grandparents was placed in the front of the book. Thank you to "Mrs. Billie" and "Mr. Clarence." Several race fans made similar donations in memory of Dale Earnhardt at the time of his death. If you would like to honor or remember someone in this way, contact Suzanne Wise at 828-262-2798 or wisems@appstate.edu.
