NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. – (September 21, 2023) – North Wilkesboro Speedway has one year in the books on its second stint and fans are back in the motorsports momentum. Legendary NASCAR drivers who raced there in the 90s are happy to be back on the short oval track too. NASCAR legend Bobby Labonte will take to the track September 30th and race fans have two opportunities to meet the driver beforehand on Monday, September 25th at two Cook Out locations.
Labonte will be at the North Wilkesboro Cook Out off Highway 421 for a fan meet and greet Monday afternoon and then later that night at the Statesville Cook Out off Turnersburg Highway. The Cook Out teams will spin the prize wheel and give away hundreds of prizes from t-shirts and koozies to hats and more. One lucky fan from each restaurant will win a four pack of grandstand tickets to the September 30th NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race at North Wilkesboro Speedway.
“I’m happy the fans have the opportunity to enjoy racing close to home again and it’s great to see the economy in and around North Wilkesboro thriving off motorsports and its race fans who are the most loyal of any sport,” said Labonte.
