Without Tyson most Wilkes County residents wouldn’t be able to afford to go to the race. I’m a proud team member of Tyson in Wilkesboro, NC. Most every major corp has left Wilkes County but Tyson has remained. Great video Eric.

It seems nobody's talking about the fact that the back half of the field that brings a good portion of late race cautions was not on the track. Also cut the lap cars in half which is always touch and go for the leader.

Aside from my deep personal connection to this track, this was by far the best time I've ever had at a NASCAR race. Hopefully they fix the cars or race format for this year because every race there so far minus the Cup guys has been great.

Thanks for the video, Eric! I was there for every event all week and can say, the overall experience was worth every dime!! I live twenty minutes from the track and have been involved with the revival effort the last 12 months or so. I do hope everyone had a good time and that there is enough community support in the future. Sorry I missed you during your visit and meet and greet.

You definitely can't compare crowds in seats from a big track like Texas or Charlotte to a small track like North Wilksboro at all! They should include the fan experience! Of course you can put more seats at a big track but look what that did to NASCAR!

I can't believe that the most astonishing thing to me about this is the concession prices! I went to an NHL game in Seattle where the "beer of the day" was $10, and all the rest were $16+! Considering the high ticket price of this event, I'm surprised they didn't extend the gouging to the snacks and drinks.

Another great episode Eric! That looked amazing and it looked like you were having blast @ North Wilkesboro Speedway. With Kyle Larson winning BOTH the Craftsman Truck Series race as a fill-in for Alex Bowman driving a Spire Motorsports truck , the Allstar race shows that he's a once in a generation driver who can win in anything he drives. Can't wait to see him @ The Indianapolis 500 in 2024

@Eric Estepp. I grew up going to that track with my dad. I cannot express what I am feeling that it is back. Just hope NASCAR continues bringing it back. It should have at least one date. I am just heartbroken I was not able to attend but I am glad you were able to get to a track I grew up going to as a kid. I am just sorry the racing was terrible.

Did you only go for Sunday? You missed several days of great events. You are right about "Row negative 1", I had seats across from the crossover gate by the flagstand, not good. Spent time on the slope under the spotter stand or up in AA or BB under the TV cameras for a better view. Other than some fresh paint and lights, new metal Junior Johnson grandstand in Turn 3 (the original one in '96 was wood), the SAFER barriers, and an annoying DJ, it felt about the same. You forgot to mention the "American Titties" at the Dierks Bentley concert!

For you I'm sure it was "welcome to", as I doubt you are old enough to have gone there when it was open. That IS the original ticket office by the way, and Tyson has a plant in town. Ever wonder why it smells like fried chicken there? At least you picked a good event to go to, even if you don't know much.
