    North wilkesboro speedway

    Back to life. I saw pics and it was sold out tonight. I didn’t realize they had all the stands where it could be open to all fans. Good to see it back to life.

    Dale Earnhardt Jr was running in the late model race last night. Up until last night they had been selling around 10,000 tickets to the races. Last night they sold 18,000. He's still a fan favorite I guess.

    He last drove a late model car in 96 or 97 and finished 3rd last night. He’s just having fun.

    Dale jr was one of the main proponents in getting the race track back to being able to race there.

    I wish they would do a race on the weekend instead of the middle of the week.

    Looks like asphalt races are done based on the schedule I saw only dirt in September.

    Yes, they are removing the asphalt and will race on dirt in late September and October. Then the plan is to re-asphalt the track in prepartions for next year.

    Are they actually removing it or just covering it up with dirt.

    Removing it. I rented the PPV and the broadcast said it was being removed. Great races last night also
