Rockingham to be Auctioned

Another sad day in the sport of NASCAR, and the base of it's historical locations as it's been announced that Speedway Motorsports will be putting up the Rockingham facility for auction, with no date yet set.

If you remember, the track was bought by SMI in 2004, and then it got it's only remaining NASCAR race date moved to Texas Motor Speedway. (This sounds like a microsoft move! Purchase, divide, absorb, retire! I could be wrong, but that's my emotional take on the issue.)

Lowe’s Motor Speedway president and general manager H.A. “Humpy:” Wheeler sent a letter to Rockingham mayor Gene McLaurin last week informing him of the decision.
