How NASCAR's unlikely return to Rockingham was made possible by Congress

We're just days away from NASCAR's latest effort to return to the historic Rockingham Speedway. While the Cup Series drivers enjoy their one and only off-weekend of the 2025 season, the NASCAR Xfinity and Truck Series fields will head to ‘The Rock’ in a stunning revival of the North Carolina track. The Trucks will run on Friday, April 18 while the Xfinity drivers will take part in the 'main event' on Saturday, April 19.

Speaking on it last year, NASCAR's Executive Vice President Ben Kennedy said of the track: “Rockingham Speedway has a storied history in NASCAR, so we look forward to the return of the NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Truck Series to the famed racetrack. The holiday race weekend at The Rock will offer the opportunity to showcase the future stars of the sport at a venue with a rich history.”
