North Wilkesboro Speedway still has life to offer, and organizers proved as much with a sold-out late model event last week featuring NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Thursday, NASCAR’s biggest movers and shakers showed they are willing to bet on that.
On the steps of the North Carolina Museum of History in downtown Raleigh, just a stone’s throw away from the Governor’s Mansion, state dignitaries and NASCAR fixtures announced that North Wilkesboro Speedway will host the NASCAR All-Star Race on May 21, 2023 — marking the sport’s triumphant return to one of its once-forgotten racetracks.
