Home to NASCAR legends

The sleepy neighborhood of Hueytown has a lightning-fast history, as the town was once home to the Alabama Gang, a group of NASCAR drivers who became legends. In the late 1950s, Bobby Allison moved to Hueytown with his brother Donnie and friend Red Farmer, and the trio dominated the sport in the 1960s and early '70s. Jimmy Means joined the gang in '73; in '79, their sons started following in their footsteps. Every original member is now in the International Motorsports Hall of Fame. Today, you'll find signs of that racing heritage all over town. Hueytown's main street is named Allison-Bonett Memorial Drive. There's also Davey Allison Boulevard and Red Farmer Drive. The Seal of the City of Hueytown even features two checkered flags. Things move a little slower in Hueytown these days, but you can still walk your dogs in a four-wide formation at the local dog park, or start your engines to make it to a youth softball game on time.

Getting an education in Hueytown

Hueytown Primary School serves prekindergarten to second grade children. Right next to it is Hueytown Intermediate School, which serves third through fifth grade. The school employs a house system, each representing a positive attribute. The system is intended to create a positive culture and environment for the student body and build school spirit. Students with excellent leadership skills can become House Leaders, working with teachers, administrators and fellow students to set and achieve goals. Hueytown Intermediate School also has a great Science Olympiad team that competes in STEM-related activities. Select students may become a part of the school's Instrument Ensemble, and a choir group and drama club are open to anyone. Hueytown Middle School was part of an $11,810,000 renovation project starting in 2019 that included a new media center and computer lab, renovation of classrooms, installation of all-new mechanical and electrical systems and other renovations. The school offers various special programs to supplement students' education. DECA prepares students for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality or management. The drama club puts on two theatrical productions a year, and students can either audition for a role or be a part of the crew. The National Junior Honors Society, Robotics Club, Art Club, Debate Club and much more are available to students. Hueytown High School continues along this vein, with many career-path academies and extracurricular clubs. There are nine signature academies available to the students: health science, automotive service technology, legal services, culinary arts, theater, choir, band and cosmetology. Many academies provide students with certifications that they can use either in college or as a gateway to enter the workforce directly after graduation. The school first opened its doors in 1921 and has been a fixture in the community since then, with the entire town cheering on the school's teams.

Ball games at Allison Bonnett Park

"Softball and baseball are huge in Hueytown," says Jessica Miller, a realtor with Keller Williams Metro South. "Anyone with kids here is likely involved in softball." Softball or baseball practices usually occur at Allison Bonnett Park, with its fields and walking paths. Hueytown Park is also home to baseball fields, along with a playground. Humans aren't the only ones who like to play ball, which is why there's Hueytown Dog Park. Here, people can play fetch with their canine companions in its spacious play areas. There are two separate play areas, so larger dogs don't have to mix with smaller ones. The park also always has clean water available to hydrate furry friends. Those who enjoy the equestrian lifestyle have a home at Hueytown Horse Arena, where they can ride along the horse track. Residents can enjoy a scenic walk around the large, sparkling Martin Lake. Those that live along Lakeview Estates Drive enjoy lakeside views and privacy.

Annual Hueytown CityFest

Every year, the community comes together for Hueytown CityFest, a free event with live music, arts and crafts, food vendors and plenty of activities. "People who grow up here never want to leave," Miller adds. "You couldn't twist your arm to leave. That's because of Hueytown's close-knit, small-town vibe."
