    The old dirt track was named "Rockingham Speedway". It's heyday was the '60's, often ran in conjunction with the dirt Sanford Motor Speedway. JD,and Glen McDuffie, and Wayne Andrews, among others, were stars

      By the way...…

      "On August 30, 2018 a group of North Carolina investors named Rockingham Properties LLC. completed the purchase of the track. New ownership announced four days later that racing would be returning to the track in some form in the near future. "
