Jordan Bianchi reveals “complicated” obstacles about the Nascar Cup series Back to Rockingham


For the first time since 2013, the Nascar Truck Series will return to the iconic Rockingham Speedway this Friday, April 18th. However, there has been a lot of talk on whether this mile -shaped oval will host another cup race.

From its opening from 1965 to 2004, Rockingham Speedway has held several events, including the Nascar Cup series. However, the probability that it will be returned seems unlikely in the foreseeable future. Athletic's Jordan Bianchi explained why recently.

“It's complicated,” Bianchi said (through nytimes.com). “First, fans have to attend -and not only this weekend, but also for future races, even after the novelty is wearing away.”

Right now, there are five songs, Bowman Gray, Charlotte, Darlington, Martinsville and North Wilkesboro, who are two hours or less from Charlotte, North Carolina, which becomes the current axis of sports. This means that about 21 percent of the 38 races calendar is concentrated in this area.

“If Nascar wants to expand his footprint in North America, adding to this logjam will not help,” said Bianchi. “If the race is exceptional and the support of the people is great, maybe Nascar finds a way to go out to Rockingham in the future Cup calendar.”

But right now, Bianchi believes that fans should enjoy the next act of the truck series in Rockingham, instead of asking about future possibilities. Fans can see the race at Fox Sports 1 from 5 p.m. or listen to live radio updates on Nascar Siriusxm radio.
