The city's community is known in auto racing circles for its long tradition of involvement in the sport; many racing skills originally developed as a consequence of [[moonshine]] activity in the area. Dawsonville celebrates this legacy each October with the annual "Mountain Moonshine Festival".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dawsonville-ga.gov/ |title=Welcome to Dawsonville Georgia}}</ref>

Dawsonville is the home of retired [[NASCAR]] driver [[Bill Elliott]], who won the [[Winston Cup]] championship in 1988 and was inducted into the [[NASCAR Hall of Fame]] in 2015, and his son [[Chase Elliott]], who won the 2020 NASCAR Cup Championship and who currently races in the  [[Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series|NASCAR Cup Series]]. Bill Elliott's nickname is "Awesome Bill from Dawsonville".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nascar/2014/04/22/chase-elliott-gives-dawsonville-ga-reason-to-blow-siren-bill-elliott-nascar-rookie/8028787/ |title=Bill Elliott's son Chase making his own name in NASCAR|author=Mike Hembree|publisher=[[USA Today]]|date=April 23, 2014|access-date=May 4, 2018}}</ref> The former city hall has a racing theme as well, and serves as the location of the [[Georgia Racing Hall of Fame]]. Following a significant racing accomplishment made by Bill or Chase Elliott, such as a win, the siren on the Dawsonville Pool Room near the city square goes off to let the town know.
