Next year’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event at the historic
one-mile oval will adorn the hood of Silas’ Ford F-150 this weekend, while next
month’s Classic 3 Championship presented
by RCR Racing Museum will be featured on the truck bed.
The second-annual Rockingham
Speedway 200 NCWTS race is set for Sunday, April 14, 2013, while the Classic 3 Championship for the
UARA-STARS Late Models, NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and Frank Kimmel Street
Stock Nationals will roar to life on Saturday, November 3.
"It's been a long road back since we bought this race track
in 2007," said Rockingham Speedway president Andy Hillenburg. "There
were a few times along the way where I wasn't sure we were going to make it.
But when I looked up in the grandstands during driver introductions in April,
it made me extremely proud. That was a very important day in the history of
Rockingham Speedway, but it was just one step on the road. We're moving
forward, and I look forward to packing the grandstands next month and again
next April.”
Silas echoed Hillenburg’s sentiments, saying, “We’re excited to
promote some great racing coming to Rockingham Speedway. The track is embedded
with a lot of race history and memories. It’s an awesome feeling to know that
`The Rock’ will host some great season finales that will give the track
momentum heading into the 2013 racing season. Hopefully, we can have a good
race on Saturday afternoon to help boost awareness of the races.”
The Fred’s 250 Powered by Coca-Cola is the 18th of 22
races on the 2012 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series tour. The lone practice
session of the weekend is set for Friday, October 5th from 9:30 a.m.
– 11:30 a.m. Qualifying is set for later in the day set to launch at 4:10 p.m.
The field will take the green flag on Saturday, October 6th shortly
after 3:00 p.m., with live coverage on SPEED, the Motor Racing Network and
SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
