Rockingham Speedway, NASCAR racing track in Rockingham, North Carolina, United States
The Rockingham Speedway features a D-shaped oval track stretching 1.017 miles with high banking turns and grandstands accommodating 60,000 spectators.
The facility opened in 1965 as North Carolina Motor Speedway, with Curtis Turner winning the first race at an average speed of 101.942 miles per hour.
Local businessman L.G. DeWitt, a successful peach grower, played a crucial role in financing and supervising the construction of the speedway in Richmond County.
The speedway includes concession stands, merchandise shops, and parking facilities, while also maintaining a smaller track called Little Rock for additional racing events.
The track underwent a transformation in 1969 from a flat oval to a high-banked configuration, establishing its reputation as a demanding circuit for professional drivers.
