Rockingham… a victim of the ever changing world of NASCAR and due to things such as lack of attendance, inclement weather and conflicting dates with California and Texas, she was shut down. Earlier this year, Andy Hillenburg purchased “The Rock” with a promise to bring racing back to this beloved high banked one miler. Things so far are moving forward with an ARCA inaugural event scheduled for Sunday, May 4th, 2008. It has been appropriately named the “Carolina 500″. Hillenburg states, “We’re really looking forward to hosting the Carolina 500 and making this race one of the cornerstones of the ARCA RE/MAX Series schedule as well as the marquis event for Rockingham Speedway.”

God bless you Andy!!

I hope Smith considers banking at NHMS. It’s a wonderful venue, but some high banking there, like “The Rock”, would make Loudon an exciting race.
