Recently, the Mountain Arts Center (MAC) in Prestonsburg received a new race car to display.

Located inside the Ranier Racing Museum, this car symbolizes one of the greatest rookie seasons of 1987.

Davey Allison won two races that year setting a record for “most rookie wins.”

Allison held that record until 1999.

“We’re super excited for this car. It is a piece of history. So it is really neat to have another car to rotate in here this year,” said MAC Executive Director Joe Campbell.

The MAC receives a new race car to display each year. The vehicle is usually cycled out every February.

You can take a look at it yourself Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. inside the MAC building.
