Lil’ Bill Corum, the winner of more than 300 races is a Hall of Fame Member at three race tracks. His career spanned from 1959 through 1989 throughout East-Tennessee and north Georgia while winning the first event at Knoxville Raceway, a two-time winner of the Tennessee Dirt Track Championship and captured the NDRA’s Stroh’s 100 at Atomic Motor Speedway in 1981. Corum also competed in the only ARCA race that was held at 411 Motor Speedway in Seymour, finishing third in 1973. Corum collected track championships at 411 Motor Speedway, Atomic Motor Speedway, Tazewell Speedway, Knoxville Raceway, Ashway Speedway, Appalachian Speedway and Newport Speedway.

Tazewell Speedway owner Gary Hall and crew have been working hard during the off-season with improvements to the racing surface including new dirt added on last November. “We’re excited about this event, our biggest single-day event in Tazewell Speedway history and with the new dirt we’ve put on, we expect a new track record,” said Hall.
