'North Wilkesboro has upheld
the faith we had in the town
when we first introduced stock

people told us we were making a
big mistake in staging races this
far from a major city, but I think
the results have proved we did
the right thing. We have had
nothing but the best possible co
operation from residents and
merchants of this area?for that
reason we plan to continue bring
ing the best in racing to the local
speedway."
