Rockingham Speedway's Former Track Manager of 30+ Years Has Crazy NASCAR History Stories

What happens here

Ronnie points out the original buildings that stood before the current main structure was built. He mentions that the drag strips were once an airport, and shares an anecdote about staff using a German Shepherd to sniff out drugs hidden in cabinets within the older buildings. He then points to a particular building, confirming it's one of the original structures, although it has been redone.

Goal: Identify original track structures and relay an unusual security incident.
