ROCKINGHAM, N.C. (WGHP) — NASCAR has declared that “The Rock is back!“
NASCAR released its 2025 schedule Thursday, including two races at Rockingham Speedway, located in the city of Rockingham and known to fans as The Rock.
The Rock will host a Craftsman Truck Series race and a NASCAR Xfinity Series race on the same weekend in April 2025. This marks the first time that NASCAR has graced the track in more than a decade; the Xfinity Series was a regular at the speedway from 1982 to 2004.
”The entire Track Enterprises team is eager and proud to be working with Dan Lovenheim and everyone at Rockingham Speedway to bring the NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series back to one of the most storied venues in NASCAR’s proud history,” said Bob Sargent, president of Track Enterprises. “We are very fortunate to work with the professional staff at NASCAR and the incredible drivers and teams who will be racing with us. This is shaping up to be a great Easter weekend for the fans and everyone involved.”
On April 18, 2025, the Craftsman Truck Series will hold a regular season race at Rockingham Speedway.
Also in North Carolina, there will be races at North Wilkesboro Speedway on May 17 and Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 23.
Then, on April 19, 2025, the NASCAR Xfinity Series will hold a regular season race at Rockingham Speedway.
There will also be a race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 24.
