“We have something going for us in the Carolinas you just can’t find anywhere else in the United States. Part of our cultural fabric is wrapped around the automobile. Why do you think we have so much stock car racing in this area? It’s part of our heritage, part of our culture. People in our area are automobile focused – it may be race cars or show cars – but it is cars. The fans are going to come out to the Pinehurst Concours to see cars they’ve only seen in books, or maybe never heard of, or seen in social media. We’re built on a car culture here in the South that will make this inaugural Concours at Pinehurst Resort a tremendous success.”
