NASCAR Scene

NASCAR Scene (originally Grand National Scene and later Winston Cup Scene) was a weekly magazine about NASCAR stock car racing. It was established in North Carolina in 1976 and lasted until January 2010, making it one of the oldest NASCAR-specific publications at the time of this final issue. NASCAR Scene had a sister publication, NASCAR Illustrated, a monthly NASCAR lifestyle magazine format, that was published until August 2016.[1]

Robert Griggs, founder of the magazine, sold it to American City Business Journals in 1992, where it became part of Street & Smith's sports division.[2][3]

NASCAR Scene announced it would cease its weekly publication on January 6, 2010. The last issue was published in December 2009. Much of the content in Scene was merged into NASCAR Illustrated which was enhanced with additional coverage Nationwide Series and Camping World Truck Series.[4]

All archival rights belong American City Business Journals, Rick Houston and Steve Waid, who were part of NASCAR Scene for most of its run. A special Grand National Scene was part of the 2019 NASCAR throwback weekend at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, South Carolina]]. The plan for the magazine will be original commentary from Houston, Waid, Deb Williams, Jeff Owens, and Kenny Bruce, and actual archived Scene results from the publication as part of celebrating the annual Throwback Weekend.[5]
