Rockingham Speedway Weekend Schedule, TV Information for Nascar XFinity, Trucks and Arca East

Nascar will return to Rockingham Speedway for the first time in more than a decade.

For the first time since 2013, the Truck series will practice on Friday, qualify and race on the track known as “The Rock.”

The track, located about 70 kilometers southeast of Charlotte in Rockingham, North Carolina, will host the Arca Menards -East and XFinity series in a doublehead Saturday afternoon announced as a sale.

On February 22, 2004, Matt Kenseth won the most recent cup race on The Rock, which was hosted by 1965-2004 for the Nascar’s leading series. Jamie McMurray won the most recent XFinity race on Rockingham on February 21, 2004.

Veterans of the Cup Series Kasey Kahne (2012) and Kyle Larson (’13) won the most recent truck racing on Rockingham. There are no cup drivers this weekend in the truck or XFinity range.

Once barely classified as a highway (1 mile and above), Rockingham now barely meets the requirements of a short lane. The oval is measured at 0.94 miles, slightly shorter than the former length of 1.017 miles.
