The Richmond County (North Carolina) Board of Directors is making it a priority to get NASCAR back at Rockingham Speedway.
…
The goal, the board agreed during a meeting on Tuesday, is getting NASCAR back to one of its most legendary homes.
The track was repaved this past season, part of a $3 million request pulled from that $10 million fund, followed by a second request of just over a million this past October for additional facility improvements.
A third and final request has been made for $4.99 million for 17 different areas of improvement at the facility pending approval from the Board of Commissioners. Part of that request is earmarked for the half-mile short track located on the property, called the Little Rock.
…
The Rock is currently owned by Raleigh-based land developer Dan Lovenheim. The property has courted numerous festivals and concerts, hosting The Epicenter festival in 2019.
