Road Atlanta holds a special place in motorsports lore in northern Georgia, but so does NASCAR. That is evident by one of its favorite sons, NASCAR Hall of Famer Bill Elliott. Now the two worlds converge, with NASCAR stock cars being the featured marque at Historic Sportscar Racing’s The Mitty, and Elliott will compete in one of the event’s classes.
While the Historic Stock Car Exhibition has 14 entries, one of the Sprint Groups has 41 stock cars. Among those 40-plus you’ll find many iconic cars, as well as a few stars from the past competing, such as Elliott and 1992 NASCAR Xfinity Series champion Joe Nemechek.
If stock cars aren’t your thing, don’t worry. The event has literally hundreds of cars–483, as of April 25–from various eras and racing series.
The 45th annual Mitty runs this weekend, from April 28-30, at Road Atlanta. You can find more information here.

Will do. I'll be camping in a crew cab Mondial this year if it makes it there. I really should have gotten into classic vans or something.
Yes, everyone have fun this weekend. The shop I used to work for sponsored a little car show up there a million years ago, so that was my introduction to the event.
