This makes me so happy to see a sport I once loved to rediscover it’s roots😄 might not be the same but it gives these guys an opportunity to race on a piece of history!

Lets F'in gooo!!! Welcome back N. Wilkesboro!!! I would love to see Rockingham's return also. Fingers crossed 🤞

I was so happy to see a Cup level race return to North Wilkesboro. First race I watched in years. Unfortunately, it was a boring race. Hopefully it will be the impetus to repave the track.

Nice piece.

The Winston Cup Race I ever attended was the spring race at North Wtilkesboro in 1981. I cannot express how excited and happy that the old girl was too tough to die and Dale Jr was able to sway Marcus Smith to open the doors and bring back racing to the track his daddy wanted to let rot into the ground. I hope one day soon that The Rock will once again Roar with the sound of NASCAR’s top tree touring series racing around that track too.

Great piece. The years of breaking traditions are hopefully gone for NASCAR.

Let's also bring back The Rock! Let's get back to the roots of the sport! It's time for revival!

[@RabbitHead09]

I miss Lost Speedways sooooo much!! I got to meet Matt back at the Chili Bowl, and we talked about that show and how there was so much more left on the table! Stupid broadcast teams though...

[@wpflesh6510]

Thank you Marcus Smith for fixing the sins of your father….Now would please go blow up Texas so we dont gotta deal with that hellscape of a track ever again

[@j.wilson1000]

Dilner is so much better at this type of thing than Bob Pockress

[@mikesykes2578]

If history was an important why do they teach it in school and if you don’t know history you’re doomed to repeat it I learned that in school old-school racing short track that’s NASCAR need more of it not cookie cutters
