I don't see any promises for anything except they are paving the trackWe've heard similar promises multiple times since Andy closed shop. Call me when they have a date for a race over 150 laps.
It would cost close to 4 million to put safer barriers in. I would think he would need a future Nascar contract in hand to lay out that much expense.Local rumor that I hear in the community is that we will likely see a truck and/or xfinity race in 2024

It looks like they’re milling all the asphalt off, leaving the gravel base exposed.I'm curious to see if they are just grinding the top layer or if they are re-paving. Hard to tell from the pictures. A top grind would get them in business but a re-pave would be world$ better with drainage installed and all
I thought SAFER was put in for the Truck races. Was it removed, is it still in place, or am I completely mistaken (again)?It would cost close to 4 million to put safer barriers in. I would think he would need a future Nascar contract in hand to lay out that much expense.
Maybe go back to the beginning of the thread and read what it says.I'm curious to see if they are just grinding the top layer or if they are re-paving. Hard to tell from the pictures. A top grind would get them in business but a re-pave would be world$ better with drainage installed and all

I'd $25 of so for an 8-ounce car of those asphalt shavings.

Pretty good tell will be if they put up safer barriers that they are looking for Nascar races. CoolThey had safer barriers for the truck races in the early 2010s, rather or not they sold them when nascar left again or not I’m not sure. I don’t know what price tag the paving project came with but I do know that Rockingham got the same money Wilkesboro did from the covid relief whatever it’s called fund.

Interested to see what will happen with Rockingham. It’s a great track but the market seems a bit saturated.
Maybe they can work with Atlanta/SMI or Darlington/NASCAR on something for Cup soon?
I wouldn't hold your breath for too longThey should do the same but with concrete to Texas and/or Kentucky when Nashville Fairgrounds is built.
I recall about 160 or so for Cup, at least for the first couple of laps on new tires. 150 or less late in a run .They're gonna be hauling ass around that place.

Here are some pictures from the truck series there...looks like the straights did not have them but corners did.
