Rockingham Speedway, known as “The Rock,” is now available for acquisition—a rare opportunity to own one of North Carolina’s most iconic motorsports and entertainment properties. Spanning 250 acres in Richmond County, the property is ideally located within 90 miles of over 12 million people across Charlotte, Raleigh, and Greensboro, and just 20 miles from Pinehurst Golf Course. Fully equipped to host high-capacity events, the facility includes seating for over 25,000 spectators and parking for more than 10,000 vehicles. Complete sitewide ABC permits allow for alcohol sales across the entire venue, making it ideal for both motorsport and festival use. With more than $12 million invested in infrastructure upgrades over the last three years, Rockingham recently returned to the national stage by hosting its first major NASCAR event in two decades.
Significant recent improvements make this a turnkey property for race series, large-scale events, or entertainment investors. The Big Rock oval has been fully repaved, the infield road course expanded and resurfaced, and the core infrastructure—including suites, pit garages, media center, fiber optics, lighting, and audio/video systems—extensively modernized. The property features 18 permanent buildings with several hundred thousand square feet of operational space, including core suites, wing suites, a hospital, garages, and a media center. With efforts underway to secure NASCAR races for 2026 and 2027, the property is well-positioned to reemerge as a premier destination on the national racing circuit.
Unique to The Rock is its exemption from all noise ordinances, 24/7/365—making it the ideal venue for music festivals, endurance racing, and overnight events. The site has already proven itself as a festival powerhouse, having hosted 100,000 attendees during the 2019 Epicenter Festival weekend. Additionally, the property now qualifies to partner with a licensed Sports Wagering Operator, creating a path to secure North Carolina’s ninth wagering license. In 2024 alone, the eight approved wagering licensees generated over $6 billion in paid revenue. Between its prime location, updated facilities, revenue potential, and future event prospects, Rockingham Speedway presents a one-of-a-kind investment opportunity for those ready to take the wheel.
The property includes 4 different racing surfaces:
Big Rock – 1 mile NASCAR racetrack
Little Rock – 1⁄2 mile racetrack
Little Rock – 1⁄4 mile racetrack
Road Course – 3⁄4 mile infield road course
