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

What happens here

Jamie points out an old, faded sign for 'Pontiac Country Lounge Catering' and another for 'Brunch sponsored by ACDelco.' They then examine a large metal sign with peeling black paint, revealing the 'Goodwrench Service 400' branding underneath. This sign once adorned the backstretch of the track. Jamie speculates that it must have survived because the whole backstretch was ripped out and redone after a race, suggesting they simply didn't bother to remove this particular sign. He then finds a smaller, faded '50th Anniversary Rockingham Speedway' sticker.

Goal: Showcase remnants of old track signage and sponsorship.
