NASCAR Kitchens: Food in the Fast Lane
Public radio listener John Wheeler, in his hidden kitchen, cooks for the team.
Robert "Junior Johnson" was a legendary moonshine runner and stock car racer.
Behind every car race is a kitchen — hidden in the crew pit, or tucked between the hauler and the trailer of the trucks that transport NASCAR and Indy cars from city to city. The Kitchen Sisters chronicle behind-the-scenes racetrack food and the people who make and eat it.
