NASCAR returns to Rockingham with Truck Series (AP)

NASCAR makes its official return to Rockingham on Sunday, April 15, 2012, when the Trucks Series races around the beloved mile-long flat oval. It will be the first NASCAR-sanctioned event since 2004, when a long-term realignment plan led NASCAR to abandon its grass-roots tracks in favor of building up bigger markets such as California, Chicago and Kansas City.
