Abstract:

After mills closed, jobs left, and in 2004 when the only NASCAR race left at the North Carolina Motor Speedway left, Rockingham, North Carolina seemed to wither. But an old racer bought the empty track at auction in 2007 and now the Rockingham Speedway combines the nostalgia of old NASCAR days with the modernity of the new NASCAR.
