Why American Horse Racing Turns Counterclockwise

🏇🇺🇸 Did you know? American racing sports like NASCAR and horse racing turn left thanks to William Whitley, a patriot from the 1700s! In 1780, he started counterclockwise racing on clay tracks, rejecting British traditions. Whitley's Sportsman Hill track in Stanford, Kentucky, was a pioneering site where spectators watched from the hilltop. Next time you cheer at a left-turning race, remember this spirited history! 🇺🇸 #RacingHistory
