    To many newer tracks with more seats popped up and they lost there dates. I wish they would go back I miss that track.

    Its not a fancy track, no luxury suites and boxes. Its small track that only holds around 30,000 people, it was considered to be in the boondocks as well. I miss the Rock, it was my favorite track I only lived 10 minutes from it. But Nascar is all about $$$ now, and The Rock lost its races, dang it. I drove thru Rockingham a couple yr back going to moms funeral, the area has grown a lot, more hotels in the area now. Nascar needs to go back. This track had some great racing, but then I prefer 1 mile and 1/2 mile tracks.

    It's all about money for NASCAR. They rather bring in more money and bore the race fans with tracks like California, then to race at exciting tracks like the Rock.

  • Poor attendance for races at the Rock

    I use to love that racetrack. I heard it was because of low attendance. Though the Arca race was recently held there.

    It's in an area with a lot of other tracks and only seats 30,000

    It would cost waaaay too much to upgrade it and add more stands (somehow) to generate more $$$$$$$$. Unfortunately, ain't gonna happen. I liked the races there too.
