NASCAR's build-up to the All-Star weekend has been one of the most promising paths to an old racetrack making a comeback in the highest echelon of the sport. North Wilkesboro Speedway has seen more action on the 0.625-mile-long track by Wednesday, May 17, than it has in the past 25+ years, at the property withered away into the environment.
The revival of the track in North Carolina has bought a breath of fresh air to the 2023 Cup Series calendar. With old-school classics such as North Wilkesboro to cater to the diehard NASCAR fan, along with new venues such as the Chicago Street Race to encapsulate a younger audience, stock car racing seems to be headed in the right direction.
One of the first racing actions to go live at North Wilkesboro was Late Model Series, the CARS Tour as well as the ASA STARS National Tour. With both events packed with various Cup Series drivers, fans and drivers were treated to what the track holds in store for them this weekend.
