NASCAR has confirmed plans to return the Cup Series to North Wilkesboro in 2023 with the All-Star Race. Reaction from those involved in the big announcement:
North Wilkesboro Speedway, opened in 1947, was one of the eight tracks on the original NASCAR Cup Series schedule in 1949.
Its recent revival, partly due to $18 million dollars from the federal American Rescue Plan, has spurred discussions of NASCAR's return in some form. But few believed Cup cars would ever return to the historic speedway.“Motorsports are critical to North Carolina’s history, culture and economy, and our investments have helped to get the engines running again in places that needed revival,” said Governor Roy Cooper.
The All-Star Race has been in an identity crisis of sorts the past few years, leaving Charlotte Motor Speedway, having run at Bristol Motor Speedway and later Texas Motor Speedway since 2020.“The NASCAR All-Star Race has always been the fans’ race, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the fans during NASCAR’s 75th anniversary than returning to North Wilkesboro Speedway,” said Speedway Motorsports President and CEO Marcus Smith.
