Rockingham Speedway has expressed interest in hosting a round o꧒f the NASCAR Cup Series after a suc🌟cessful revival event last weekend.

The North Carol🧸ina-based circuit staged stanꦉdalone Xfinity and Truck races in front of a sold-out crowd, as tens of thousands of fans clocked to the 0.94-mile oval.

Ro🐠ckingham was a regular fixture on the Cup Series schedule between 1966-2004, but had largely been desolated since it was stripped from the calendar⛦ two decades ago.

It hosted standalone Truck races in 2012 and 2013, but the Easter Weekend of 2025 marked the first time the second-tier Xfinity Series returned to the track as part of a ﷽bigger revival event.

The reception to the race⛎s was largely positive, with teams and drivers praising the r🍌enovated facilities.

“I’m pretty hands on, so I talked to them from Thursday night, when we got here, t𝐆o all day today,” promoter Bob Sargent told The .

“Talked to a lot of different people at NASCAR, whether they were here or wer🥂en’t here. [NASCAR board member] Mike Helton was here yesterday, and I🍸 talked to people on the phone today. And the teams that were here, we talked to them a lot.

“Older, veﷺteran drivers that I got relationships with, they were texting me, calling me. And then again, the sponsors who were here, I talked with them all day long. The fans. The officials. My workers. A lot of positives from every﷽body.”

With the Xfinity and Truck races runninꩵg smoothly over the weekeꦬnd, there has naturally been speculation about Rockingham also being added to the Cup Series schedule in the coming years.

Asked if he thought last weekend p🍬roved that Rockingham deserved to be added to the Cupജ Series calendar, Sargent said the circuit is already on NASCAR’s radar.

“Yes, absolutely, with the caveat that NASCAR i⛦s a big, worldwide entity, and when you look at dates, there are only🌼 so many.

“There are only so many geographic regions and things like that. So there ꦍare many factors that go into when dates get put wher🀅e. So it’s not a magic wand.

“But I feel comfortable, and am not saying anything out of🍬 line that, yes, we did everything we needed to do.”

“ꦏIt’s a process. Bဣut we are on the radar. We are in that process.”

For mo🍸st of its history, Rockingham held two NASCAR Cup Seriesꦬ races every season, with the champion often getting decided in the second of the two events.

The circuit went through various ownership changes over the decades, with Ro🏅ger Pensk🔯e and Bruton Smith even engaging in a bitter battle for control of the track at one point in the 1990s.

Rockingham was taken over by a group of inܫvestors led 𒉰by businessman Dan Lovenheim in 2018.
