Andy Hillenburg recently purchased the Rock (Rockingham Speedway) for about 4 million dollars. (Heckuva Bargain!!) What would you like to see happen with it?

I would fix the stands put in brand new suits, repave the track, tear up the infield and make it fan friendly, add lights, then start working my way up from there. Try and get an arca race or a truck race, then go after the busch and cup series and once you have proven fans will come to the track during a decent time of year hopefully we can go back cup racing and get fontana off the schedule and other boring cookie cutter tracks.

I see there are a couple newbies.
I think I would get the race cars of some kind back on the track and try to convince someone present or past to do a charity race there and and try to keep it going and build up year to year. Run some of your races on a week day so you might be able to get a driver like Schrader, Stewart, Benson that love to race when ever they get the chance.
You could go bid on a NASCAR race of some kind but go for ARCA first and see how they do. Maybe a ARCA / IRL race.
I hope they do something good with it. It should be put back on the schedule and stop one of those long senseless trips out west.
Maybe we can try and save North Wilkesboro Speedway next. And thank goodness there isn't a wrestler named that so it should confuse to many.

I would spend some more money and get the grand stands up to date, bring the track up to to days standards without ruining the past..The first event I would have would be a ARCA and Truck Race, then a super legends race there for the guys who have all raced there in the past, and have a huge free concert to all fans, and then the next yr bring the Cup guys back and get this great track back on the cup schedule, We need THE ROCK...

If I had the Rock I think I'd have a racing event simular to speedweeks.
Include The Hooters Cup series,ARCA(both Stocks and trucks);The NASCAR BUSCH(or NATIONWIDE) series(if an open weekend can be found).
Make the Rock an show place for the motorsports.

More seating, get a Busch or Truck Series race in. Get a couple ARCA races a season. IRL is a possibility. And when it isn't in use for racing, concerts, driving schools, and filming for movies.

Get as much racing back there as possible, pro cup, arca, etc.
Continue to rent out the track for private testing and filming.

When I first read your question, I thought you were talking about the ex wwe wrestler/actor The Rock (Dwayne Johnson). lol
If I owned him I would have all kinds of fun with him. lol
If I owned the Rockingham Speedway, I'd get my closest 1000 friends together and have a blast there!
Cheers

Rip up all the asphalt and replace it with red clay, or maybe Texas gumbo dirt, and run late models and sprints.

Fill it with water and make a fish pond out of it.
