NASCAR is once again leaving Rockingham Speedway.
"The Rock," the iconic 0.940-mile oval track in North Carolina's Richmond County, has hosted races for the Craftsman Truck Series and the second-tier O'Reilly Auto Parts Series in each of the last two seasons after a 12-year absence.
But Rockingham's promoter — Track Enterprises — announced on Friday, Aug. 14 that NASCAR racing will not be held at the track in 2027. In a statement, Track Enterprises says the decision comes "amid overall uncertainty at the facility."
The owner of the speedway is Darryl Cuttell, and he is currently grappling with a financial strain as he battles liens and lawsuits totaling more than half-a-billion dollars. Elon Musk's ****** eXAI alleges it has overpaid between $500 to $800 million for services from Darana Hybrid, an international electro-mechanical contractor company that Cuttell owns.
Cuttell also owns the International Hot Rod ****** ociation (IHRA). Amid Cuttell's financial troubles, IHRA has laid off employees and canceled some of its racing series.
