NASCAR: Five Tracks Fans Wish Were Still On The Schedule

Rockingham

Most fans simply refer to this track as Rockingham but for many years the track was known as North Carolina Motor Speedway.

The 1-mile facility hosted 78 Cup races between it’s opening in 1965 on through 2004. When NASCAR abandoned the speedway, it became another North Wilkesboro as the track sat dormant for several years. Former driver, Andy Hillenburg purchased the speedway and The Rock hosted races again in 2008. NASCAR’s Camping World Truck Series made two stops to the historic facility in 2012 and 2013.

Sadly, Rockingham’s fate is up on the air once again and it’s questionable as to whether racing will return to one of the toughest tracks in the United States.
