Peanut Patch
Peanut Patch has been a Southern staple for generations and is the #1 brand of boiled and canned green peanuts in the world! In fact, boiled peanuts are recognized as the official snack of South Carolina! Known for its commitment to quality and taste, Peanut Patch ensures that all peanuts are harvested and boiled on the same day, preserving their rich, peanutty taste and natural nutritional goodness. Because the peanuts are harvested and canned within hours of them coming out of the ground, Peanut Patch boiled peanuts are more flavorful and nutritious than dried or roasted peanuts. The South’s favorite savory snack is available in four delicious flavors, Original, Cajun, Salt ‘n Vinegar and Hot & Spicy. Each flavor delivers a unique twist and the beloved juicy texture for a great snacking experience. Folks can purchase Peanut Patch boiled peanuts at many roadside stands, from hot-and-ready Kettles at gas stations and convenience stores, from cans in local grocery stores and online at https://peanutpatch.store/.
The best-selling brand is proudly owned and operated by McCall Farms, a leading producer of farm-fresh canned goods in Effingham, South Carolina. The company acquired the Peanut Patch brand from Roddenberry Foods of Cairo, Georgia in 2002. Canning their own brand of boiled peanuts since 1980, McCall Farms soon turned Peanut Patch into the nation’s number one brand of boiled peanuts.Peanut Patch products are available practically everywhere, year-round. Originally found in roadside stands, now you can enjoy Peanut Patch Boiled Peanuts from hundreds of roadside stands to millions of kettles & cans and online at https://peanutpatch.store/.
SMART Modified Tour
The SMART Modified Tour captures the essence of one of the most legendary forms of racing in America, pavement Modifieds. Born in 1988, these ground-pounding, 600-horsepower missiles for the SMART Tour are a must-see for any racing fan.
In 2020, Chris Williams brought SMART Modifieds back to prominence after a brief hiatus. Due to the overwhelming popularity from its fan base, a four-race schedule in its initial year has given birth to an adventurous 15-race schedule in 2024.
This year will mark the fourth full-season of SMART Modified Tour racing since its return. Many of Modified racing’s best drivers, from all over the country, will compete with the series, which visits 13 different racetracks in three different states in the Mid-Atlantic - North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
SMART Modifieds compete on grueling asphalt oval short tracks, embedded in quaint local communities, each spring, summer and fall.
