Museum seeking dirt track racing memorabilia

The Museum Center at Five Points, 200 E. Inman St., Cleveland, Tenn., is issuing a call for objects for an upcoming exhibition. "In the Dirt: The Fast and Dirty World of Dirt Track Racing" will run from May 30 through Aug. 16.

Items related to tracks, racers and cars from the community may be included. The museum will accept possible objects, on loan, beginning Tuesday, March 4.

"We are looking for objects, such as brochures, advertisements, car parts with original racing numbers, photographs, equipment related to local race tracks, trophies, helmets and more," says curator of collections Lisa Chastain. "We are also looking for stories, which are the heart and soul of any exhibition."

The exhibition will follow the premier of a documentary on dirt track racing by Ron and Debbie Moore at the museum on April 17.

Those with items they are willing to loan to the exhibition are asked to call Lisa Chastain at 423-339-5745 or email her at lchastain@museumcenter.org.
