Stacy Compton was born and raised in the small town of Hurt, Virginia which is located along the beautiful Staunton River in southern Virginia. Stacy comes from a hardworking tradition of self-reliance and from a family that has worked in the automotive, real-estate and cattle businesses for many years in south-central Virginia. Even though Stacy has spent much of the last 13 years focused on a career in NASCAR that sees him spending much of his time on the road, Stacy has never considered leaving the area where he grew up.
