Abandoned Rockingham Speedway: FULL TOUR! (Hidden NASCAR History In Storage)

What happens here

The hosts enter the control tower and survey the track from the elevated vantage point. They discuss the historical significance of the track, noting that it hasn't hosted a NASCAR Cup Series race since 2004. One of the hosts attempts to activate the old control panel to turn on the track lights, but it appears non-functional.

Goal: Access and observe the track from the control tower
