Mr. Mincey was an avid racer. He raced cars from 1948-1981 at tracks all around the Southeast including Dixie and Rome Speedways. Charles retired from Day’s Chevrolet at age 73. He enjoyed reunions with his race buddies. He was very proud of the 1939, two-door Ford sedan he restored with his grandsons.

He was inducted into the Association’s Hall of Fame in 2004 honoring his race car career. He liked to pass time working in his yard and garden as well. Mr. Mincey had a good sense of humor and his favorite show was Sanford & Son.

Charles became a very spiritual man after receiving Christ in the 1970’s while attending a Revival which his father-in-law was preaching. Thereafter he and Carolyn became members of Milford Church of God in Marietta.
