A beautiful Saturday would greet the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series as they would return to action at America’s Most Famous Short Track, Hickory Motor
Hickory native Allen Huffman had a divine wake-up call 15 years ago.
âIn 2006, God got my attention,â he said. âI realized I had let racing become more important than anything else. Just to be blunt, I had let racing become my idol.â
Huffmanâs interest in motorsports began at 5. âRacing came before the ministry, because I was a 5-year-old at the race track,â he admitted. âThatâs where I first fell in love with racing: sitting in the grandstand at Hickory Motor Speedway.â
When Huffman realized that his full attention wasnât on his faith, he wanted to change that. âIn October 2006, I sold our entire race team, quit my job, and moved to Hendersonville to go to Bible college,â he explained. âI graduated from (Fruitland Baptist Bible College), and we started NCN in April of 2007.â
