The North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Carolina was sold to Bruton Smith and Bob Bahre in 1996. They closed the speedway soon after they brought it and transferred the track's cup dates. They split the dates giving one to Smith's new track in Texas and Bahre got a second date for NHIS. The only reason they paid millions for the track was for the race dates.
