http://www.unctv.org As our state's western region sheds its leaves as part of the fall season, one mountain community is celebrating a spring-like re-birth. Here's the story from Wilkes County. Rob Holliday reports. http://www.unctv.org
It is sad because I love NWS but it had to be done some way because Nascar is trying to do everything to have more fans and this method needs new tracks on new places so more states are going to be covered with racing which will lead to more fans and money...
I guess they can have only one pocono or loudon and have one NWS at the sprint cup.
I just feel terrible cause we as NASCAR fans just sat by and let North Wilkesboro die right in front of us for the last 14 years and we just did nothing.
thank nascar for forgetting it's roots and snubbing it's nose at the very people who made it what it is today. to race cup cars again at wilkesboro and rockingham would be a concession to the greed that caused the abandonment of both of these great tracks in nascar's home state.
I am from Ca, and I loved watching races here, on the tube. Makes me happy to see it alive again. Was so sad to see pictures of weeds growing up all over and thru the track a few yrs back. Nascar! Get back to NW, and the Rock, c'mon. Suppose to be about awsome racing...right!? These tracks have that. Obviously the town needs you as well. Yes I love my home track, Infinion, but this racing is awsome and needed. Go Sprint car, and short track racin! ....Race fan
@dsnider2013 5 years seems fitting, they should have the race on the week of the 20th annversary of it's closure.... I'd love to see all 3 series (cup, NAtionwide and Trucks) race there...

This track deserves a cup race it's a real racetrack.Texas is an awful,boring race as is chicagoland,california,vegas.

It would be a BIG miracle if the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Return to North Wilkesboro Speedway.

It's such a great feeling seeing this old track getting some use again after being inactive for so long.
Perhaps one day I'll make a visit and see the place in person. As I use to watch NASCAR back in '93.
