I'm glad. I always liked that track and am glad to see it back on a NASCAR schedule. :good!:

I hope it gets a good crowd, but I'm not sold that happening.

Good for NC and Rockingham. Personally I never thought the racing was great on that track. But the fact that there is only one track in NC is a damn shame.

Please get North Wilkesboro back.

It can always be renovated. I just want more short tracks.

Dooz is right, it is beyond renovation, only option would be to start over from scratch.

Rockingham was one of my favorite tracks, it took talent to drive it well.

Wish they would move one of the lame Pocono races to here.

It looks like Gresham Motorsports Park will host a race next year, too.
