For years, North Wilkesboro Speedway was a shell of its former self. “It was more just driving by (North Wilkesboro) as a kid, going to the mountains and seeing this ghost of a track that you hear about from your family,” Dillon said. He was six years old when the last NASCAR Cup Series race was held at the speedway, which was on Sept. 29, 1996. Dillon’s dream is to add another piece of hardware to RCR’s assortment during the May 21 NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway. Both drivers shared in Dillon’s heartfelt nostalgia over the series’ return to North Wilkesboro Speedway, though the glory days of the track were also well before Reddick and Buescher’s time.
