Vault Visit | NASCAR racing fully returned to North Wilkesboro in 2023

We're going back one year to 2023 when the NASCAR All-Star Race came back to North Wilkesboro.

NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. — To celebrate WFMY News 2 turning 75, we are opening the News 2 Vault. 

We're only going back one year to May 2023 when racing fully returned to North Wilkesboro. 

That was the day NASCAR hosted the All-Star Race at the North Wilkesboro Speedway. The famed track had been closed for almost three decades. But NASCAR announced they'd celebrate their 75th year with the all-star race and several days of events in Wilkesboro. 

The race brought people from all over the country and the world to the Wilkesboro Speedway for a revival of racing in the area. Of course, we've seen that last year's success meant more this year.

The second All-Star weekend at North Wilkesboro Speedway ended last night with Joey Logano taking home the win.
