The speedway located in North Carolina last hosted Cup Series in 2004.
At the time, it was owned by International Speedway Corporation, which had obtained it in 1999 as part of its acquisition of the speedways owned by Roger Penske.
Now that North Wilkesboro Speedway has been resurrected, two-time Cup champion and 2016 NASCAR Hall of Fame inducteehe would like to see the one-mile track in Rockingham, North Carolina, return to NASCAR’s schedule. Rockingham hosted its last NASCAR Cup race in February 2004. At the time, it was owned by International Speedway Corporation, which had obtained it in 1999 as part of its acquisition of the speedways owned by Roger Penske. Two years earlier, Penske had purchased the track from L.G. DeWitt’s family, who had been involved with the facility since its opening in 1965. At that time, it was known as North Carolina Motor Speedway. Penske renamed the facility North Carolina Speedway.
“I understand it’s in the middle of nowhere,” the two-time NASCAR champion said. “At the time that we lost Wilkesboro and Rockingham, the sport was really growing, expanding further out west, new tracks, Kansas, Chicago, and the new track in Fontana was there. I understand all that, but it’s really nice to see Wilkesboro come back.”
