Marcus Smith says any future races at North Wilkesboro are to be determined

Speedway Motorsports CEO Marcus Smith said North Wilkesboro Speedway “definitely has a place in the NASCAR world” moving forward, despite an All-Star race that lacked drama Sunday night.

In what capacity remains to be seen.

Smith was non-committal about how North Wilkesboro might fit into NASCAR’s schedule moving forward. There are no guaranteed dates on the Cup Series points race schedule and future All-Star sites haven’t been determined.

“That question’s on my mind as well,” Smith said. “I think when you see a successful week of events like we’ve had here it’s natural to think, ‘Boy, maybe we can come back here.’ So, I’m definitely thinking that way. … It’s definitely something that we’re thinking about.”
