    It is absolutely mind-boggling to think myself a 22-year-old and my entire life I've never seen a race at North Wilkesboro when I was born the track was in its last leg it was dying being forgotten about and for Dale Jr to do all this get the track back restore it bring it back to its former glory it puts the biggest smile on my face because I have been a Nascar fan since I could remember I want to thank everybody who has been a part of this project for bringing history to the modern era. is is something no one will ever forget. you guys are absolutely legendary. Jr i know your father would be so proud of what your doing to help the sport, to help racing as a whole and keep the community so close and loved. this is what history from the past being revived looks like and also what history being made looks like. and it makes me want to cry to be honest man.

    The August 31, 2022 wasn't just a race, it was an experience.
    I grew up a Nascar fan in the 70s-early 80s, then wrenched on LMS, Busch and some Cup .
    Visited victory lane many times in LMS, track championships and victory lane in Busch. This race was by far the best (racing) experience I ever felt. Every person in attendance had to feel something.
    The shy little kid(Junior of course) has become such a major contributor to the sport that may never be matched.

I have had a life of F1 , but my dream of seeing a race night like that in the USA is my childhood dream since watching " The Last American Hero" movie in the 80s. Watching this gave me goose bumps!! I have no words other than I think I was born in the wrong country! What a fantastic film, thank you.

    Man.. Idk if anyone else geeks out over Jr's aesthetic as much as I do but he looks so god damn badass with those gloves & his custom Stilo helmets. He used to run an oddly shaped helmet back when he first moved to Hendrick & had Adidas gloves, I believe..
    Ever since 2013, he switched to AlpineStars fire suit, Stilo helmet & the iconic skeleton gloves. There's just something about that look that turns me into such a freakin' nerd lmao

    Dale Jr. Does more for the fans of Racing than anyone else has done in the last 22 yrs.He is the best ambassador for Racing. Anyone who was a fan of his daddy's or of his will show up to watch him race. Heck I only watch when he gets back into a car. I miss him racing full time. I understand his reasons for retiring from full time .His health and his family. But I sure do miss watching him race. I've been waching him since his start in the Busch year 1. He won 2 championships. Thanks Dale Jr. It will always be a thrill to watch you behind the wheel of a racecar. It is totally awesome that as team owner he got the win and the icing on the cake he finished 3rd.

    My 1st NASCAR race I ever went too, was the Tyson/Holly Farms 400 in the very early 90’s! Myself, and a group of friends from Huntington, Wv (Dixie Thunder Race Shop) came down. Me, Deana Leedy and her crew had a blast. The day I heard Wilkesboro was closing, it brought a tear to my eye. Then the day I heard it was “coming back”, I had those feelings from the 90s again. I didn’t make it for the return date, but I can promise you, I’LL BE BACK as well!

    "Other" sports stadiums have figured this out but the local oval tracks are spotty at best. Put the lights behind the grandstands and have them reflect back to the people paying for the show. Not sure where NW stands in this argument, just felt the urge to vent. It's not a parking lot, its a race track. p.s. Love the "unrestored" vintage vibe.

    North Wilkesboro doesn't need NASCAR to come back to survive. With some great promoting they could be stronger than there cup days. Maybe some North South shootouts with modified and one thing there's plenty of in the northeast is late model stock cars. Heck even some street stock touring series would be cool there. Give Cleetus McFarland a burnout pad and he would bring his Crown Vic racing series there.
