There is not a more unlikely drag racing success story than Roy Hill’s. The man they call “Hillbilly” overcame poverty, illiteracy and some admittedly questionable life choices to become not only a champion driver and car owner but also a successful businessman and entrepreneur.
In this episode of Legends: The Series, Season Three, the proprietor of Roy Hill’s Drag Racing School discusses growing up on his grandparents’ North Carolina farm, leaving school in the seventh grade, his long association racing legend Richard Petty and the addicting qualities of the sport he loves.

Joey and Jerry Birch race a C/Gasser in the Southeast Gasser Association. The car they run is a tribute to the Gasser their father ran and dominated back in the 1970s while racing in the Upstate of South Carolina.
In this video, the brothers talk about the importance and memories of watching their father race back in the 1960s. Ironically, part of their father Joe, who passed away in 2009, still rides with them. The engine in the car is the last one he built.
A story worth sharing.
