756 Somers Road, Ronda, NC 28670 - Wilkes County

NASCAR Racing Shops and history for sale! This is the former race shops of the late NASCAR Hall of Fame racer / car-owner Robert (Junior) Johnson, and the late NASCAR car owner Flossie Johnson! Drivers for this racing operation located in Ronda, NC were as follows: Bobby Isaac, Darel Dieringer, A.J. Foyt, Fred Lorenzen, LeeRoy Yarbrough, Cale Yarborough, Bobby Allison, Curtis Turner, Gordon Johncock, Donnie Allison, David Pearson, Hut Stricklin, Brett Bodine, Loy Allen, Darrell Waltrip, Neil Bonnett, Terry Labonte, Geoff Bodine, Bill Elliott, Sterling Marlin, Elton Sawyer, Jimmy Spencer, and Earl Ross. During the active years (1965-1996), the drivers amassed 132-victories including the Daytona 500, the World 600, and the Southern 500 multiple times! These victories do not count the 50-wins that Junior had prior to 1965. These newer race shops just across North Little Hunting Creek from Junior and Flossie's home, have in excess of 25,000 square feet of work-space (currently rented). The land is 3.3-acres +/- (per Wilkes County Tax Department) with a 3-bay paint shop, multiple offices and bathrooms, much workspace, a total of 10-heat pumps, and 11-entry garage doors. The well is considered an "artesian well". Currently the house, the shops, the care-taker's home, and a nearby church share the water. Whoever owns the house controls the well! If an agreement cannot be reached to continue sharing the well, the new owner of these race shops would need to have a new well installed. Per the heirs, the in-ground fuel tanks have been properly filled and inspected by the State of North Carolina. Since this is an estate sale, all the property is being sold "as-is, where-is". Much more information is available, and all showings will begin after January 3, 2022. The house and the older shops can be purchased separately from the newer shops. There are two (2) additional MLS listings for them to be purchased separately. The house is MLS #1052776, and the newer race shops are listed on MLS #1052779, and a combination of both properties on MLS #1050415.
