This NASCAR track has seen many great rivalries in its time; Petty vs. Yarborough Earnhardt vs. Waldrip, but their battles were minuscule compared to the epic struggle displayed Wednesday night at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. Chuck Chupollini Huffstetler waged a war against his inner demons over the ten mile distance that is the Lowe’s Motor Speedway Time Trial.

Children cried at the anger Chupollini applied to the pedals of his bike; young girls squealed and fainted at the very sight of his massive legs powering him to unheard-of speeds down the front stretch. “We were convinced that the track record would be broken” stated Rick McCall, Director of Marketing for the CCTTA. But, this monumental effort came to a disastrous end on the last lap when the shear torque of pedaling shattered the chain of Chupollini’s bike into a thousand pieces.

“There would be no joy in Mudville; for poor Chupollini had struck out”.
Asked for a comment after the failed attempt Chupollini would only say; “get me a stronger chain”.

The Lowe’s Motor Speedway Time Trial Series consist of nine races held from April through October. The Carolina Cycling Time Trial Association, an all volunteer, non-profit organization, conducts the races. The races attract a wide range of competitors from beginner to state, national and world champions.
