Throttle and Rust Some weekends are measured in laps. The best ones are measured in stories, cold beer, and the people you share them with. 🍻🏁

We are Throttle & Rust.

These are our people. This is our story. Outside covered patio. Dog friendly.

Overheard behind the counter in Kernersville on Saturday: “It’s ready. Whether the trays are ready is a different question.” That box had a tail on it, too.

🦖🍔 Something BIG is on the horizon…

…a monster of a burger that’s coming soon to Big Burger Spot. 👀

❤️ Leadership is about people, and behind every race team are real people, families, and friendships.

On this clip, Mike Verlander (President of Richard Childress Racing) shares how RCR supported its 400+ employees through grief following the loss of Kyle Busch.

His message is a powerful reminder that leadership isn't always about having the right answers. Sometimes, it's about showing grace, being there for your people, and simply caring for one another.

🎙️ Hear Mike's perspective on leadership, compassion, and the people who make RCR what it is. Full interview: https://youtu.be/aPmAbyTG-9U

🪛 Every tool in the old man's shop had its outline painted on the pegboard, so you could see right away what hadn't come home. No sign-out sheet needed. 🔨

🛠️ Whose shop had a wall like that?

🏎️ From NASCAR Engineering to Custom Vehicle Manufacturing!

When NASCAR changed its Cup Series car, Richard Childress found a way to keep his talented team working and turn a challenge into a new opportunity.

Some lists get bought. This one got driven.

Six places across the valley and up the mountain that earned their spot the only way that counts, by us going back. Tiebreakers in Hickory for wings loud enough to match a fall Saturday. Happy Valley Filling Station for the Sunday Carbonara, egg on top, caviar if you’re feeling reckless. Eleven Lakes for The Big One out at the picnic tables. Famous Toastery up the hill in Blowing Rock when the morning has earned the right to take its time.

Not a list anybody paid for. Just ours.

The places we actually go. Not a list anybody paid for. Just ours.

A full mile of dirt and not one straightaway. One endless left-hand turn, a corner they named Puke Hollow, and for forty-five years the most feared track in America. There’s a shopping center on it now.

Langhorne Speedway in Pennsylvania was one continuous mile of dirt with no straightaways, a giant circle they called the Big Left Turn
