Recently checked their website and it has not been updated since April. Did this track close? Anyone know what happened?

I'm looking for a TnT opportunity and Roxboro, NC is the easiest drive for me.

It sure doesn't look good from a quick search. Even Facebook and Facebook is usually where you can find out things real quick and up to date. On their website it did say the track is still for sale.

Funny Roxboro story
Guess I should not tell this on myself but what the heck
First time I ever went there they had buy back until you drop night--so first round I get an old man in a Aspen wagon I break out by .001 with a killer bulb--oh well buy back--get in line and get him second time around
I have a .001 red and run dead on with a 2 damn! OK hang back get my mind right am 20th in line and wouldn't you know it he is right beside me--he rolls down the window in staging and yells out the window "ain't you had enough?"
Ahh...Good Times!
BTW I went .001 red 3rd round running dead on--so he has a good tale to tell at my expense but WTH

That track has seen Sox in the best part of his career --and McCandless--and many other "name" guys have all had big days there It used to be longer track back in the day

Hate to see any track close but that place is in the Boonies I mean Tobacco Road , Pine trees , nowhere--Looks close to I-85 and all but whew! It is in the tobacco fields or where they used to be

I had wondered if they ran the 1/4 there at some point. It has a verrry long shutdown for a 1/8 mile track.

The new Galot Motorsports park is close to I-40 and I-95, but traffic can be heavy in the evening on those routes. Their TnT is during the week so there is the commuter traffic. It looks like weekends are always for events.

I am outside of Wake Forest. To get to Galot I have to head south on I-40 which can be very heavy after work. My car does OK in the heat, but I hate to just have to sit in traffic with it and the temps will eventually start to creep up. Kinston would be even farther for me.

If Roxboro is closed, Galot is the closest option.

Pretty sure I remember hearing Roxboro was closed and is for sale.

For those in NC and VA, it looks like Roxboro may be opening for the 2018 season!
