After an eight-year absence, NASCAR national touring series racing will once again attack the high-banked corners of Rockingham Speedway when the Camping World Truck Series hosts an event on April 15, 2012. The Good Sam Roadside Assistance 200 will be the first Truck race to take place at the 46-year-old racetrack.
“In 2007, we set a goal to return Rockingham Speedway to its roots,” states Andy Hillenburg, president of Rockingham Speedway.
“The introduction of the Truck series to Rockingham Speedway is representative of years of hard work and the support of the country, city and state government officials, who understood the positive economic impact a NASCAR-sanctioned race could offer to the Piedmont region. We are very excited about this news and know our supporters are just as proud to have Rockingham’s national racing roots become a reality once again.”
