We spoke with Dale Earnhardt Jr. about reviving North Wilkesboro Speedway, which sees the NASCAR Cup Series return for the first time since 1996.
came last August with Earnhardt and the CARS Tour, a late model series he now partially owns. In the race, Earnhardt ran a bright-green Sun Drop No. 3 car, just like he did at Wilkesboro in 1993.“When we had the late model stock race in August, Marcus Smith, the owner of the property, was standing on the front straightaway,” Earnhardt told.
“It’s going to be pretty incredible, the difference between the track six months ago and where it is today,” Earnhardt said. “The racetrack will be modernized. There will be a, a new catchfence, new paint, new amenities, new grandstands, and improved this and improved that. “All of that stuff is absolutely necessary, but it will visually change what the track is today compared to what it was in August. We just have to remember: We couldn't move forward and have racing at that racetrack with the way it was.”R&T
