  • The old track lives again. On April 16, 2022, it was announced that a series of grassroots races will be held at North Wilkesboro Speedway with pavement racing in August and dirt racing in October 2022. The track will then be replaced in early 2023. This marks the first racing at North Wilkesboro since 2011. Aided by millions in state funding, the historic race track is on the verge of a revival that many thought impossible just years ago.
    Tickets for the event go on sale Tuesday April 19 at northwilkesborospeedway.com

    I know I shouldn't get my hopes up too soon but this is giving me a lot of confidence that one of NASCAR's Founding Tracks can make it's return.

      If you are meaning by the fairgrounds raceway of Nashville, it only held nascar events from 1958 to 1984. it's not as traditional in nascar terms as NWS or Martinsville or even Darlington. But as for being a part of *Racing* tradition, then yes. The fairgrounds racetrack has been holding racing events since 1904. So in that sense, yes. The Fairgrounds is tradition for racing

    So glad North Wilkesboro is returning, and hopefully it returns to Nascar in the near future like IRP did! Now all we need is for Rockingham, Nashville Fairgrounds, Montreal, Memphis, Canadian Tire, Iowa Speedway, and Milwaukee to return to Nascar in the near future and things would be perfect. I want all the tracks listed above, North Wilkesboro, IRP, and Portland included, to join the Cup Series schedule in the near future as well.

    The last NASCAR race was on my birthday; however, I wasn't around at that time. I visited the track in 2020 I felt the vintage atmosphere that facility held. I may not have a deep connection with the track like other people, but I'm grateful that I now have a chance to witness history.

    As good as this is, I prefer we get Rockingham going for a NASCAR cup race. I think Wilkesboro would be a perfect truck track, especially since the style of racing they usually bring there, but if we want a cup race on a returning track, Rockingham is the best bet.
    Not even a shade at Wilkesboro, but man I just feel like this is not a track that cup would do any better at than something like Evergreen.

      @@JJA1987 Because Wilkesboro isn't a very quality track. Rockingham's unique racing style with the high speed and bumpy surface provide better racing than a lesser Martinsville. Wilkesboro benefits from lesser quality series, and the Trucks usually stupify into silly, but awesome races. I think it'll fit the track well.
