they should put up one of those around the clock cameras and have it connected to a youtube channel when they start working on the track. it would be nice to watch the progress.
I agree. Tell me where I can watch this unfold and I'm there. I wish I could see this in person. Sadly I am from Ontario, Canada and cannot attend. The ability to see the old surface, then some dirt would be a wild spectacle.
@@lukazivkov960 I've dreamed that they can grow it back into a Cup Race in the future! HOF driver's Race at that track would be amazing. Who wouldn't show up for that
He's raced at the track before, and was there in its retirement stages back in 1996. He was the one who scanned the track WITH HIS OWN MONEY AND RESTORED IT BY HIMSELF when iRacing expressed interest. The other Junior (RIP) was depressed when seeing it gone from the schedule. I wonder how he would react upon seeing the news
Being from California, I would definitely take vacation from work and organize a plan to come out to race my 4 cylinder enduro truck. Talk about once in a lifetime opportunity. To race at the same track where Earnhardt, Petty, Gordon, etc ran is almost unimaginable.
Same, though I'd settle for a ticket or track walk because I don't have a good car and who knows if the return is permanent. And if Jr enters the race, I better bring my Gamecube case of NASCAR 2003 so he could sign it in case he does a meet and greet
I remember reading that Benny Parsons told his wife he hoped that North Wilksboro could come back up and running again before he died. Hey Jr. I was Buckshot's gasman when you and him were in the Busch Series he was in the #00 Cheeze-It car. I was a weekend worrier every weekend as I was a full time Policeman in Metro Atlanta for 30 years. My very first pit stop was of course was the 2000 Daytona spring race. I have a pick of that pit stop and you were pitting in the stall right behind us in the AC Delco car at the same time and your car is in the pic too. Very cool. You always spoke when walking by in the garage and I have never forgotten that. Thanks Brother
Man, I really hope this gets televised so I can relive the good times at North Wilkesboro. Grew up watching Saturday night races at Hickory, where I'm from. THIS IS AWESOME NEWS!!
@@piedpiper8355 thanks for the offer, but I'll be going with a truck full, possibly even towing a racecar depending on the logistics of it all. I'd be coming out of middle Ga.
@@wingracer1614 You forgot the Greatest Show on dirt The World Of Outlaws I live in Ohio they run the Outlaws their I'LL be their. Eight hr drive have van can sleep comfortably.👍
I just want to say thank you to Dale Jr for helping in whatever ways hes has. His influence is out of this world. From all of us who live in Wilkes County Thank You!
I got mine. Two day tickets for midweek late model race is $30. I think that's reasonable. Now the cost of driving down there from N.Y..might hurt the wallet a little.
I had the chance to stop at the track last year. I didn't get to go in but being just in the parking lot and seeing the place gave me the chills. It is so wonderful that racing is coming back to this fantastic place. A very big thank you to all that have been involved
I used to work on a pit crew for a late model stock car. We raced at Hickory and Tri-County every week. Once a year, Lowe's sponsored an event call the Lowe's 250. It was 50 laps limited stock, 100 laps late model stock, and 100 laps of modifieds. We did that for a couple of years. It felt like we hit the big time when we went to Wilkesboro. I also went to every race they had there for the cup series for about 5 years, right before they shut it down.
Dale Jr, if you or the crew have anything to do with this or if y'all are there, it'll guarantee seats. This is from a huge fan of yours since I was six years old. You're the best role model a kid could've had in sports/motorsports. You're the best. -Your fan Howie.
Thanks to you Jr, the ole girl is coming to life once again. I have always loved Wilsboro and, was sad when it was deleted from Cup.. I am so excited for racing to return to one of the best tracks we used to have. My hats off to you and, everyone going forward to make this happen
You're Doing A Fantastic Job Bringing Back These Well Known Tracks That's Been Shut Down, and To Know It'll Be Dirt Track Racing In The Future, WoW -- This Is So Cool Dale Jr...Peace Out, "38·Mafia Motorsports·39"
I can’t wait as I worked for a local tv WCYB TV 5 in Bristol and was there for last race. I did a walk in talk with Dale Sr. Hope to see you there Jr. Thank you for helping to get racing back at North Wilksboro
Knew you couldn't resist. I hope you race at north Wilkesboro. And I will go watch it. You are going to enjoy it. Thank you for doing your part bringing this historic race track back. . Real short tracks . 👍
Man I hope they televise some of this! Thank you Dale for all you have done for this speedway and for also trying to get more big racing series at South Boston again.
We need to bring back more of the old school tracks. I watched Dale at asheville motor speedway. It was my home track. Nw was my favorite Winston cup track , Please, everyone, let's make this happen.
This is awesome! I didn't become a fan until 2004 and never watched any live TV broadcasts from North Wilkesboro, but I'm definitely glad racing is coming back there this August. Also, as a longtime Dale Jr. fan, I would love to see him back on track in a late model (maybe the #3 Sun Drop car, as a throwback to his 1993 late model scheme).
Hi Dale, I can’t thank you enough for the effort you are putting into the North Wilkesboro Speedway, it was truly the best short track that was ever on the cup circuit and I’m my opinion, it always will be. I can’t wait to see racing at this legendary track once again. You should be commended for your effort on bringing this track back to life. I don’t know about you but I’ve had enough of the cookie cutter tracks and really looking forward to racing at this once legendary track. “North Wilkesboro Speedway has a heart beat” ❤️ and I for one can’t wait. Thanks again Jr. your are the man! 🏁🏁👍
Hey Dale Jr! My son is also a Jr and we raced go carts from 98 to 2008 then raced Street stock at Caraway Speedway for 2 yrs then I had some serious health issues and still do I would be very great full to anyone that could possibly give him a chance to drive.We did really well during the years we raced but can no longer financially or physically provide it any longer and we both miss it especially the father son time patiently waiting a response even if it's just tickets to N.Wilksboro Thank You! Ken Sr.
Check out "Goodwood revival" in the UK, its an old road course very famous from the 50s and 60s and then shut down and died for 40 years. Then about 15 years ago it was revived with good investment, and every year has a big weekend of vintage racing with 100s of vintage cars from all eras, all the garages and track and stands and facilities were restored to look like the 50s and 60s again!! Maybe this is an idea also for Wilkesboro?
I live in Boone but am from Mooresville and go back frequently. Every time I drive down the mountain on 421 and pass the track, I dream of being able to watch a race there. So glad the opportunity has finally come.
I’ve always wanted to go as a kid. Passed the place in travels for work a few years ago. We already have our motel reserved for this historic event. We’re going to the CRA Super series/Must See Sprint car weekend. I certainly can’t wait!!!
It's great to see Dales excitement over the future racing on that track , and his desire to help support the tracks future is contagious .. and if he does race one of his cars there, the place will be packed ! Hope it's televised ! Listening to Dale and Mike talk about it is very entertaining, and their passion is certainly obvious 👍👍👍
When I was working back there from Oregon in the late 80s to early 90s I loved that track . I even met Bobby Alison and his wife at a little store just at the edge of town before the race . One of my best memories of working in the south. 👍🏻
Would be an absolute dream come true to run a late model there! Love the place on the sim and you can feel the nostalgic energy all the way up here in Canada! Help me get a start down there!
I'm bringing the whole family...dale please reach out to all retired racers you know...dw, all the Wallace brothers,the king, labonte. Fans would love to have such a personal contact with them again.. srx and tony Stuart. This pod cast reaches so many, keep up on all details.
North Wilkesboro was gone before I was born so I'm unfortunately not able to get that exact nostalgic feeling like the old-school fans, but I've heard and seen so much about this beautiful little track that I was really excited when this was announced!
There’s also a lot more than just the nostalgia involved. For starters, Us long time fans didn’t like the evil and crass way that Bruton smith and bob bahre bought a track with the sole intent and purpose to close the track down so they could move cup race dates to Texas and Loudon.
Looking forward to seeing the 410 Sprint Cars and Big-Block Modifieds run there in October. Already booked by hotel. Drove past the track about 15 years ago on our way to meet Junior Johnson at his garage just down the road. This is going to be epic!
Wilkesboro was My first ever Cup race.. I saw Earnhardt Sr race there.. I wanna go Drink Beer and tailgate with Jr, and relive the feeling I got going as a kid..
That's wonderful news to hear that Dale Jr hope it falls through with the race track and everyone involved with race track to love see the trucks on the race track to
Agreed. Dale Jr. should definitely race a late model at North Wilkesboro this August. If that is the case, I would gladly make the trip from NJ to NC to watch him run.
Nothing excites me more than being a young racing fan from north wilkesboro where I only got to see a late model race there 1 time. Jr you could really help us out here if you decide to do it.
I really want to go to a race track in my life. Been to a dirt race in California mountains but hearing this I'll fly to my birth state for this August or October.
I wish there was someone around at the time to map out Flemington Speedway for the Dirt Trackers in Flemington N.J. the D Ring KING of the East Coast Tracks! the 80s and early 90s were LIT and where Billy "The Kid" Pouch was the ALL Time BEAST of ALL TIME in the Keystone 126 and the Barker Bus 126 I HATED HIM AS A KID BUT NOW I LOVE THAT GUY AND HIS HISTORY IS MY HISTORY JUST A DIFFERENT VIEW MY STORY AND HIS-TORY! CRAZY! LOL
My wife and I are going both days on the 16th and 17th of August for her Birthday, which follows on the 18th! I hope JR Races 1 of those 2 days but either way it will be fun to live the history of that great track!
I think I see just a little of that twinkle in Jr's eye for the thrill of racing again. Nice to see him helping smaller locations for people to be able to experience racing.
Mike is right on with his comments about the fans getting their say. Vote with your wallets and support these events. I just bought tickets for my son and me for an asphalt race and a dirt race. This is great news and I’m looking forward to some great events!
We need to live stream these races! You guys need to check out the APC Series in Canada and what they are doing with the streaming platforms. It's doing absolute wonders for the series.
This is a awesome deal ! I’d like to go in August and watch and I’m all the way in Indianapolis ! I was there around 80or 81 I Believe my dad Won a late model race there ! Can’t wait!!!
THIS IS WHY Jr. IS IN THE HALL OF FAME! His interest and respect for the past has been instrumental in what has, is , and will happen at North Wilkesboro. I am sure that the same will be said about Nashville Fair Grounds. It is not all about what you do behind the wheel that counts. He puts his money where is mouth is.
Well, here it is. The opportunity we've all been asking for. Time to put up or shut up race fans. Let's go support this great endeavor to bring racing back to this track. I live in Pennsylvania and myself and my family will be making the trek. Who's coming with us?
I was at north Wilkesboro in 1988 and it was awesome. It rained and I had to push my brand new thunderbird out of a rut. Still remember all the great times. 👍
As a dirt racer in North Carolina I would love to attend, Although with such short notice I will not be able to. Really wish I could have planned for this.
I feel if North Wilkesboro gets the facility upgraded..The Fans will DEMAND a Cup race..All hinges on how much the facility is upgraded $$$$ Wishing Wilkesboro the best !!
Here we are the day before Jr's race. Opening night was a sell out, they've had to open up additional seating in the turns. Cars and fans have shown up. Fucking beautiful.
they should put up one of those around the clock cameras and have it connected to a youtube channel when they start working on the track. it would be nice to watch the progress.
Dude that’s the best I idea I think they could even make like a mini series about it in the future
I agree. Tell me where I can watch this unfold and I'm there. I wish I could see this in person. Sadly I am from Ontario, Canada and cannot attend. The ability to see the old surface, then some dirt would be a wild spectacle.
That would be absolutely fantastic to see

North Wilkesboro was there almost from 1948, I believe.
i wish we could get back Altamont...
@@easyenetwork2023 track was originally built in 1947
Went to my first Cup race there in 1978. It was awesome! Wish I lived closer , I would attend!

@@mr.intensity2685 I notice a lot of you girls check spelling. Up yours
@@mr.intensity2685 warrior.... but thanks for the english lesson
If Dale Jr actually decides to race there that will definitely help sell out that weekend
Yup, and if he does a meet and greet, that would be above and beyond. I would like to have him sign my copy of NASCAR 2003 on the Gamecube
Yes. And Dale needs to get NASCAR to go there. Marcus will do his lobbying, but Dale Jr.’s support carries a ton of weight.
Great to see North Wilkesboro back on the racing map. Wooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
I live 30 mins from the track, I will be there!!! I’ve went to the races at North Wilkesboro from the 80’s to 96. Dale Jr. has got me excited!!!!!
Man, I really hope this gets televised so I can relive the good times at North Wilkesboro. Grew up watching Saturday night races at Hickory, where I'm from. THIS IS AWESOME NEWS!!
CBS or NBC please pick this up
PPV like Cleetus McFarland.......hell ger him in on it.
I will do everything I can to make a trip up there during these races. I really hope Jr decides to do it. It would boost the event big time!
Even if he can't drive, you know he'll take a day or two just to go down there and tailgate
I don't know if "up" there means FLA, GA or SC to you but if your coming from fla we can ride together!
@@piedpiper8355 thanks for the offer, but I'll be going with a truck full, possibly even towing a racecar depending on the logistics of it all. I'd be coming out of middle Ga.

North Wilkesboro would be perfect to hold a Martinsville style triple header. Maybe Late Models on Friday, Modifieds on Saturday and Trucks on Sunday
Great idea, But part of the deal is there will be No racing on Sundays.
@@MJTAUTOMOTIVE OK, late Models and Modifieds on Friday, Trucks on Saturday
@@MJTAUTOMOTIVE What about if Nascar puts in a built in off-week for Cup and Xfinity?
@@wingracer1614

I live in Ohio they run the Outlaws their I'LL be their. Eight hr drive have van can sleep comfortably.👍
Really think we can get Xfinity there Xfinity is not that much more step up from truck may be only about 10-15 percent in terms of attendance
I just want to say thank you to Dale Jr for helping in whatever ways hes has. His influence is out of this world. From all of us who live in Wilkes County Thank You!
Well said Mike fans are the only ones that can make this work. Don't let the corporates be right support North Wilksborough
That’s right, I’ll add the caveat that not everyone can take off work on a weekday and spend $70 for family race day though.
I got mine. Two day tickets for midweek late model race is $30. I think that's reasonable. Now the cost of driving down there from N.Y..might hurt the wallet a little.

I'm going to drive 9&1\2 hours from New York just for the off chance he might race.
I saw them at Martinsville i would go to North wilkesboro 45 minute drive
Gives me hope that Rockingham will have future races.
Well they do have races at rockingham not a lot but they have super late models

Well, here it is. The opportunity we've all been asking for. Time to put up or shut up race fans. Let's go support this great endeavor to bring racing back to this track. I live in Pennsylvania and myself and my family will be making the trek. Who's coming with us?
Great video guys everything you say is true would love to go but it’s a little awkward from Canada. Best of luck with it!
Love to see the Sun Drop Dale Earnhardt North Wilkesboro car. OMG
I was at north Wilkesboro in 1988 and it was awesome. It rained and I had to push my brand new thunderbird out of a rut. Still remember all the great times. 👍
Ramp trucks, open trailers, retro paint, and sponsors, can’t miss
Well said Mike! You are spot on!
As a dirt racer in North Carolina I would love to attend, Although with such short notice I will not be able to. Really wish I could have planned for this.
Bravo DJ & Mike👏👏👏👏👏 checkered flag 👍
I forgot about hickory and rocking ham racing I remember seeing petty go to victory lane at both
I feel if North Wilkesboro gets the facility upgraded..The Fans will DEMAND a Cup race..All hinges on how much the facility is upgraded $$$$ Wishing Wilkesboro the best !!
I’m coming all the way from central New York. Can’t wait
Here we are the day before Jr's race. Opening night was a sell out, they've had to open up additional seating in the turns. Cars and fans have shown up. Fucking beautiful.
OH HELL YEAH GO AND HAVE SOME FUN !
This sounds awesome. SRX series wood definitely come race there
