Bravo. Kills me to not be in the house, but I will watch every lap. God, I love this sport.

This looks bad ass
Smith noted the “real possibility” of bringing a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event. “We specifically - and I’ll thank Marcus Lemonis, the CEO of Camping World for his voice of support - we specifically think it’s a real possibility to bring back NASCAR and the Camping World Truck Series to North Wilkesboro Speedway,” he said. “Those races are nationally televised events, and it’s a national NASCAR touring series. We have a number of those (races) in our portfolio, and I would love to see one of those here.”
This looks bad ass
I’ve been saving money to go since middle of last year. I’m incredibly excited, this is the one track I’ve always wanted to go to since I became a fan. I can’t pin point why… I guess it’s I’ve enjoyed the races there I’ve seen on YouTube, from memories watching on TV with my dad and the curiosity of it being abandoned. I’ll be there for first NASCAR race back. And note to it’s PAVED in those pictures, I’m glad it’s not gonna be dirtWallet sweats neverously
What a time. Hopefully, Rockingham gets some needed love as well. This is what its all about, hopefully fans will respond though because that's how we keep these places open.

I just worry what tracks lose races because of this. 36 with two exhibitions seems like a firm numberWallet sweats neverously

I'm sure pulling a "Bristol" isn't off the table down the roadHmm so not dirt
The tracks that will be losing dates will be deserving of losing them from an entertainment standpointI just worry what tracks lose races because of this. 36 with two exhibitions seems like a firm number

Hopefully a couple of road courses get the axe.I just worry what tracks lose races because of this. 36 with two exhibitions seems like a firm number

Charlie are you salty?The only people that need thanked are the NC legislature. There was zero evidence of any 'vision to restore' on SMI's part until someone else came up with the cash.
Well, my dog licks my face a lot, but I thought that was because I'm greasy. Maybe I'm both?Charlie are you salty?
Need to go a little higher in Gov't than that. They wouldn't have done spit on their own.The only people that need thanked are the NC legislature. There was zero evidence of any 'vision to restore' on SMI's part until someone else came up with the cash.
I don’t…even know what to say ha ha. You’re one of a kind, and I mean that in the most flattering of ways possible. But this is what I meant ha ha https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=salty&=trueWell, my dog licks my face a lot, but I thought that was because I'm greasy.

Omigawd, I'm a french fry AGAIN. Can I reincarnate at least as some kind of animal next time?
Well I’m not surprised they’re even thinking about this
Nah, this doesn't upset me. I just believe the only 'vision to restore' the Smiths' have had for NW for the last 25 years has been to replace the padlocks on the gates when they get too rusty. Any claims by Marcus are a steaming pile with peas and corn.I don’t…even know what to say ha ha. You’re one of a kind, and I mean that in the most flattering of ways possible.

I sit corrected.Need to go a little higher in Gov't than that. They wouldn't have done spit on their own.
I don’t think you’re wrong that stimulus money was indeed the catalyst to get the ball rolling. The Smiths left that place to rot for a quarter century and I haven’t seen just how much SMI is contributing themselves not that I care, but I’m curious to see the state vs SMI contribution. But a revival is going to happen, I’ll take it however way I can.Nah, this doesn't upset me.

Does anyone here think otherwise, that SMI has long been planning this revival for 2022 and it's just coincidence that stimulus money happens to have been allocated now?

Just when everything was trending positive..... then this bull$hit comes out! If your Candy a$$ cant handle 100 extra laps then stay home. If I bought a ticket prior to this I would ask for my money back. This is ridiculous.Martinsville Spring Race to be 400 laps
JANUARY 27, 2022 AT 2:25 PM
Martinsville Speedway’s spring NASCAR Cup Series race will now be the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400. As the first full regular season NASCAR Cup Series race at night, the laps have been adjusted to 400 to accommodate its start time at Martinsville Speedway. The stages will now be 80/180/400 for the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400 at Martinsville Speedway. The fall penultimate NASCAR Cup Series Playoff race, Xfinity 500, will remain 500 laps at Martinsville Speedway. To download the new Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400 logo, click here.
With this being Martinsville Speedway’s 75th Anniversary season, the first and only 400-lap NASCAR Cup Series race at the track was the Old Dominion 400 won by Jack Smith on Oct. 28, 1956.
— Martinsville Speedway — WTH? the ticket price just went up 20%! I call BS!
Not the end of the world, just the end to more of our tradition. I can see Atlanta or Texas or something similar but keep your hands off of the short tracks.*Shrugs*
I like how the Spring race is 400 laps and the fall is still 500. Not the end of the world, but I'm curious as to why Martinsville was selected. Atlanta's spring race is still 500 miles, I would have preferred to see it trimmed to 400 miles.

400 laps at night < 500 laps, day or night.As the first full regular season NASCAR Cup Series race at night, the laps have been adjusted to 400 to accommodate its start time at Martinsville Speedway.
This is part of why I question the long-term value of bringing in all the sideshow acts. Will people come back to watch the racing without all the other stuff?I have no doubt that significant California sports enthusiasts will turn out for the first NASCAR race at the venue but how long will it remain on their "list of things to do again."
