How excited are you to see the 2023 All-Star race at North Wilkesboro Speedway?
I’m very excited to watch this race at this historic track.
If the race turns out amazing keep the all star race here and maybe turn it into a points paying race
NOT!
Super excited
This is the most intelligent thing that NASCAR has done in decades . The only thing that could make it better is if North Wilkesboro was back on the points paying schedule.
I also think SlapShoes’ video is worth a mention. It helped educate a whole new generation of fans about this lost gem
He makes some of the best videos. Brock Beard does as well.
Absolutely
Agreed! @S1apShoes is another piece to the journey that helped us all arrive right here, right now and deserves to be known for that.
@brightsunfilms had made one as well.
Dale Jr deserves a lot of credit as well for his efforts to clean/clear the track surface so iRacing could scan and preserve it in the virtual world!
Remember during the pandemic and the NASCAR Virtual Races on were TV, …..North Wilkesboro was the last race in that series!
Dale Jr ran that race using the Ralph Earnhardt throw back paint scheme that the announcers failed to notice/mention as well!
Unbelievable! Thank you soo much Marcus and everyone involved…….I’m sure I’ll have a few tissues ready
Here’s hoping that this weekend will be an successful run.
I’m glad to see North Wilkesboro back on the NASCAR schedule
I hope after this year it gets a second date and become a part of the schedule from here on out
Man, THIS is where they should have the Clash, not the freaking LA Coliseum…
Absolutely a points race!
Hopefully this becomes a points paying race in the next year or two.
They are going to talk about it after the all star race
I’m a Brit and all for preserving history, but it rarely happens to this level, and it’s amazing to see after North Wilkesboro had gotten so dilapidated, that so much has happened already to breathe life back into this nostalgic circuit.
Thank you everyone involved for this! I have tears in my eyes, and will definitely be watching (just wish I could of been there!)
Your welcome
The lack of tracks like North Wilkesboro is why NASCAR is struggling
Please explain
That and stupid gimmicks like the stages and playoffs

I’m so excited to see North Wilkesboro back. Hope they keep it in the long term. I would love to see them bring back Rockingham
Really glad they are doing this. I sure hope it continues year after year.
I never knew about it’s elevating features. This is just awesome to see!
This track brings back a lot of good memories, watching it with my Dad on Wide World of Sports..going to be fun watching it again.
Got to visit the track a day after they announced that there would be some races there, it was something truly special.
Great video, and great work by NASCAR to preserve its history. From an Aussie. Wishing F1 did more of this
I’m an old baby boomer , remember going to Wilksboro with my family.Thank God bless Dale Jr. His passion for getting people in my generation back interested in NASCAR again. Don’t forget about were NASCAR came from. This tracks up hill down hill layout ,challenges drivers and crew chiefs in setting up the race cars . Thanks to everyone who has contributed to bringing close exciting racing back to Wilksboro.
Okay boomer
I’ll be tuning in Wednesday night for Late Model Stocks and Sunday’s All Star Race is going to be legendary!
I’m so excited for this. 36 year old Northern California native, but I’ve been racing since I was a small child. When Dale Jr first started getting this in motion I almost lost my nugget. I wish I could be there.
