After staging the most
talked-about event of the 2012 NASCAR season to date, Rockingham Speedway
President Andy Hillenburg made it official today; confirming that the NASCAR
Camping World Truck Series will return to “The Rock” on April 12-14, 2013.
“We got our report card from
NASCAR, and it looks like we got an A+,” said Hillenburg of NASCAR’s April return to Rockingham for the first time
since 2004. Sprint Cup Series star Kasey Kahne topped an all-star field of
Camping World Truck Series regulars to win the `Good
Sam Roadside Assistance Carolina 200 presented by Cheerwine,’ in front of a
large and enthusiastic crowd of race fans.
“Fans, drivers,
teams; everyone embraced our 2012 event,” said Hillenburg. “I’m happy to
announce that with their help, we’ll do it again in 2013; bigger and better
than ever before.”
General admission tickets
are already on sale, with adult tickets beginning at just $20 and kids age 12 and
under half-price. Reserve your seats now by calling the Rockingham Speedway
ticket office at (910) 205-8800, or online at www.rockinghamspeedway.com.
“It’s been a
long road back since we bought this race track in 2007,” said 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 again next April.
“The Rock is
back, and we’re looking forward to another great race on April 14, 2013.”
Good for Rockingham!!
ReplyDeleteNow if we could only get the Trucks back to Loudon!!
Ok people now we all need to prove that it wasn't a one time thing and get your tickets so we can sell it out again.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear a return to Rockingham is in place. Although I live in the far regions of Canada, it has always held a special meaning to me, as the very first NASCAR race I watched as a kid was the 1989 AC-Delco 500...Mark Martins first win.I became an instant fan of both track and driver. I told my wife I still HAVE to attend a race there. I cant wait for the opportunity...
ReplyDeleteYes you need to take week and visit the Charlotte area and visit the race shops, Hall of Fame and top it off with the truck race at the rock.
