Overview
- Track Enterprises announced Friday that it will not host any NASCAR-sanctioned competition at Rockingham Speedway for the 2027 season.
- The promoter said the decision was driven by uncertainty about the facility’s condition and operations, and it thanked fans, sponsors and local officials for strong support during 2025–2026.
- Motorsport reporting says the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA), which owns Rockingham, has faced financial instability that complicates planning and scheduling for future NASCAR dates.
- Track Enterprises said it remains optimistic and will pursue alternatives to restore national touring events but gave no firm timetable and said scheduling updates will follow as available.
- Rockingham returned to national NASCAR competition in 2025 after a state-backed $9 million reinvestment and drew large Easter-weekend crowds in 2025 and 2026, but the site’s repeated ownership and operational problems have repeatedly interrupted its comebacks.
