HISTORY
The geology of the arm of Wade Mountain, on which Devil's Race Track resides, influences the area's microclimate, which may be considered almost semi-arid.  The arm of the mountain is capped by a layer of sandy soil.  Water drains the area quickly, leaving little for the plants. 
Therefore, the variety of plants is somewhat different from those typical of the area and most are smaller than normal. 
Many sea fossils can be found in the rock exposed at Devil's Race Track.
