Rockingham Speedway has expressed interest in hosting a round of the NASCAR Cup Serie🔯s after a successful revival event last weekend.

The North Carolina-based circuit staged standalone Xfinity and Truck ಞraces in front of a sold-out crowd, as tens of thousands of fans cloc꧒ked to the 0.94-mile oval.

Rockinghaဣm 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 theඣ track as part of a bigger revival event.

The recepti🌠on to the races was largely positive, with teams and drivers praising the renovated facilities.

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

“Talked to a lot of different peop🌊le at NASCAR, whether they were here or weren’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, veteran 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 wo🍌rkers. A lot of positives from everybody.”

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

Asked if he th🤪ought last weekend proved that Rockingham deserved t🔜o be added to the Cup Series calendar, Sargent said the circuit is already on NASCAR’s radar.

“Yes, absolutely, with the caveat that NASCAR is a big, worldwide entity, and when you look at dܫates, there are only꧙ so many.

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

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

“It’s🙈 a process. But we are o🔜n the radar. We are in that process.”

For most of its history, Rockingham held two NASCAR Cup Series races every season, with the champion often getting decide✅d in the second of the two events.

The circui𝔉t went through various ow꧑nership changes over the decades, with Roger Penske 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 investors led by businessman Dan Lov🥂enheim in 2018.
