A video series I'll be starting, covering race tracks that were once active but have since been abandoned, repurposed, or demolished. This series will cover tracks across all legs of motorsports, including NASCAR, IndyCar, and Formula One. Feel free to leave me suggestions for tracks I should cover in future installments. Music: Finch - Tarot

You'll notice I tried something different with the text slides for this video. Just slowed them down to give the viewer more time to read them. Also, calling it now, the next video will probably be shorter. I usually need about 10 pictures for each track that are of decent resolution, and some of these tracks are harder to find images for than you'd think. Music: Matchbook Romance - What A Sight

North Wilkesboro Speedway opened its doors on May 18, 1947 to a crowd in excess of 10,000 people who showed up to see one of the famous Flock brothers win the race. On October 16, 1949, North Wilkesboro Speedway held the eighth and final race of the 1949 NASCAR Strictly Stock Division. At the end of the day Robert "Red" Byron walked away as the first NASCAR champion Brett Bodine led most of the spring 1990 race. During a caution the pace car picked up the wrong leader, which gave Bodine a lap lead. Bodine put on a set of tires before the error was corrected. He held off Darrell Waltrip for his only career Winston Cup win.

One of NASCAR's legendary racetracks. I like many of us wish this track would get treated better instead of just sitting there not being used.

The North Wilkesboro Speedway currently sits deserted alongside US-421 in Wilkes County. In its prime, the track was home to Nascar's top circuit and would welcome thousands of fans

 

They might not be completely forgotten.
