“After hearing from multiple people on our comments following announcing
our campaign to reopen North Wilkesboro Speedway, we feel the comments
seem to appear as they are being directed to the wrong people. The
people of Wilkes County both in the Government and private citizens of
the county are ardent supporters of the reopening of North Wilkesboro
Speedway, notably many private citizens have worked extremely hard by
putting their many talents to use to see something happen and we are
most grateful for their help and sacrifice to see this project through.
While our comments may seem to be directed at them be assured this is
not the case. As most might not be aware of earlier situations to revive
and reopen North Wilkesboro Speedway, ideas of space needles with a
spinning restaurant and stock car racing on ice have been floated by
previous attempts to open the track. STS Motorsports came out against
those efforts and our comments are directed at those ideas and groups
solely, as we are questioned on many fronts about our involvement with
previous attempts.”

STS Motorsports Inc. announced today they would begin work on saving North Wilkesboro Speedway once again, following the closure in 2011 after the PASS Super Late Models $100,000 To Win Race. While previous efforts to Save the Speedway have been met with pitfalls and mis-management, STS Motorsports Inc. has decided to reopen the issue and ask the community for help.
“In the past, no one has asked the community what they thought and how things could be done. We seemed to see people come in with grand ideas that fizzled out over time, while disenfranchising the motorsports community as a whole.” said Robert Marsden – Founder STS Motorsports Inc.
In the renewed effort, STS Motorsports Inc. will begin a donation campaign asking racing fans to join in this time and donate. In return, not only will you help save a historic motorsports landmark, but additionally, tickets, pit passes, and even get their name on a race or drive the pace car during one of the planned events once the donation campaign reaches it goal.
“We will use our grassroots skills to bring the message to race fans giving them a return on their investment to lease and reopen North Wilkesboro Speedway” Said Steven B. Wilson
All fans and businesses interested in donating can find the campaign and information on Indiegogo at http://www.indiegogo.com/northwilkesborospeedway
The campaign will kick off using social media, word of mouth and help from the community willing to see North Wilkesboro Speedway reopened. All the information will be found on STS Motorsports website at www.savethespeedway.net or following along on Twitter @savethespeedway and on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/northwilkesborospeedway. |
