@patron_of_metal I quit years ago myself, but when I did there were a sum of those years free Winston's from all the races were my choice.

@Weagleeee @NCStateFair @NASCAR AI, definitely AI.

70s lol, more like 90s/2000s walking out of every Winston Cup event with cartons of smokes.

Wild times.

[Super 70s Sports @Super70sSports]

This used to be a proper country.

@DKFunderburk @adrenalize877 Either way, they post is incorrect.

[Save The Speedway @savethespeedway]

Umm no, Bristol, Knoxville and Eldora would like a word.

[N.C. State Fair @NCStateFair]

On this day in 1970, the last @NASCAR dirt track race was held, and it just so happened to be in Raleigh at the N.C. State Fairgrounds! 🎉

North Carolina's own, Richard Petty, took home the checkered flag in what was billed as the Home State 200. Check out this photo from 2013 when The King visited with us to reminisce about that race. #NCStateFair

@Madman_33X @adrenalize877 Either way the post is incorrect.

[Save The Speedway @savethespeedway]

@Madman_33X Technically they said "last NASCAR dirt race" so it would be correct to include them.

@Allen0957967375 Oh I didn't know they closed the track like Rockingham. Weird, I'm pretty sure I see it on the 2027 NASCAR Cup Series calendar.

[Save The Speedway @savethespeedway]

@Allen0957967375 You don't, I can assure you of that.

[Save The Speedway @savethespeedway]

Rockingham Speedway has announced they are now up for sale for $10,000,000.

In a Facebook post they state Track Enterprises has made an offer well under the minimum asking price which they have rejected.

They are now soliciting additional offers at the min price.

[Save The Speedway @savethespeedway]

@Allen0957967375 That's not what happened.

[Save The Speedway @savethespeedway]

@The_NASCARJeff @johnnystir No. That was Ferko v. NASCAR where a SMI shareholder sued saying Texas was promised a second race date.

@ZachKeilman Penske owned it before.

[Save The Speedway @savethespeedway]

@jamesminor88 They owned and sold it before.

[Save The Speedway @savethespeedway]

@mjezierski @TheDukeOfRebels @DirtDobberMedia At the same time he owned Auto Club, Michigan, etc. before he sold to ISC.

[Save The Speedway @savethespeedway]

@mjezierski @TheDukeOfRebels @DirtDobberMedia NASCAR owned it at one time, so did SMI, so did Penske.

[Save The Speedway @savethespeedway]

In a follow up to this posted on the Rockingham Facebook page, the track president claims he was fired by IHRA nor paid for his part in the sale of IHRA.

@DKFunderburk SMI owned it, and sold it.
