NASCAR has unveiled its 2025 schedules for the Xfinity Series and Craftsman Truck Series, and both will be making stops at historic Rockingham Speedway in Richmond County.
“The Rock” is set to host an Easter weekend revival with the first Xfinity Series race on the track in 20 years scheduled for April 19. The Craftsman Trucks Series held its last race in Rockingham in 2013 and it will return April 18.
Both series begin in mid-February at Daytona International Speedway.
With the Cup Series off on Easter weekend, “The Rock” will be the center of NASCAR’s attention as action returns to the one-mile oval.

”The entire Track Enterprises team is eager and proud to be working with Dan Lovenheim and everyone at Rockingham Speedway to bring the NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series back to one of the most storied venues in NASCAR’s proud history,” Bob Sargent, president of Rockingham Speedway ownership group Track Enterprises, said in a press release. “We are very fortunate to work with the professional staff at NASCAR and the incredible drivers and teams who will be racing with us. This is shaping up to be a great Easter weekend for the fans and everyone involved.”
The return to Rockingham marks the latest historic North Carolina race track getting back into NASCAR’s rotation.
North Wilkesboro Speedway hosted last year’s NACAR All-Star Race, the first race on the repaved and revitalized track in 27 years. And the Cup Series’ season-opening Clash exhibition race will be held at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem on Feb. 2, 2025.
