Editors Notes
ROCKINGHAM, N.C. (Jan. 23, 2026) – Due to the continued forecast for inclement weather across the southeast and expected winter storm, the previously scheduled Jan. 27-28 organizational test for the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN
Truck Series at Rockingham Speedway has been rescheduled for Feb. 3-4.
Track Enterprises will once again serve as the Official Promoter of Rockingham Speedway’s Easter Weekend NASCAR classic at the famed Richmond County oval.
Dozens of teams from both the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series will fine-tune their machines both days from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. in preparation for the North Carolina Education Lottery 250 presented by Black’s Tire and the
NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Black’s Tire 200. Fans will be allowed free of charge to watch from the Turn 4 grandstands.
