Neither of two tracks that took North Wilkesboro’s original 2 race dates holds it now:
The spring date was given to Texas Motor Speedway, which in 2021 lost it to COTA.
The fall one was given to New Hampshire, in 2018 it was taken by Las Vegas instead.
And, for another fun fact, it’s current date, the All-Star Race, was taken from TMS, moved to Bristol during COVID, had been run in Charlotte since 1985, but also was run in Atlanta once in 1986. That single Atlanta race is the one that established the All-Star Race’s date in the schedule (first one was a double-header held on the same weekend as the 600) — a date that originaly belonged to Nashville Fairgrounds.

So so excited to see it return this weekend

In reply to Jake Broer. Hopefully this becomes a points race starting next year and Nashville fairgrounds is the all star race next year. And then Nashville fairgrounds gets a points race ideally.

My dad and I worked at NWS on that ill fated attempt back in ‘10-‘11. Saw a young Chase Elliott and John Hunter win in their respective classes, wish I could remember which. Got to meet JH’s grandmother on top of victory lane. Also a good buddy of mine is a former sign painter, back when that was a thing. His work is still on the big cinder block wall. “Three words and a bird”!

One of my fave part of this track is the uphill on one straight and down hill on the other, I REALLY hope they keep that in the repave or even make it more pronounced!

In reply to Austin Emms. @Larson Gordon won the last race there, but Geoff Bodine won the last race in which the leader lapped the entire field, and it happened at North Wilkesboro.
