'One Night In June' highlights history of Bowman Gray Stadium

Bowman Gray Stadium in North Carolina has been home to NASCAR almost since its birth. The first NASCAR race was run there in 1949. Some of the legends of NASCAR raced there during their careers.
It was the site of Richard Petty's 100th NASCAR win. Junior Johnson, Davey Allison and Tiny Lund won NASCAR races at the track.
Bowman Gray Stadium will be the subject of a documentary called "One Night In June." Film crews recorded Saturday night's NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race as part of the documentary.
Matt DiBenedetto won the race, leading every lap including the final six that went past the scheduled 150.
Go to the K&N website for more on the "One Night In June" documentary and the history of Bowman Gray Stadium.
