STS Motorsports Inc. has recently received word that the application for a historical highway marker for North Wilkesboro Speedway has been approved. The application was submitted last fall, however a decision was postponed to determine proper verbiage for the sign.

At the most recent meeting on May 18 the sign was approved with the following inscription:

"NORTH WILKESBORO SPEEDWAY"
Pioneering NASCAR dirt track. Built 1946; paved in 1958. Hosted sanctioned events, 1946-96. 5/8 mile oval 1/2 mi. E.

Plans call for erecting the sign on Old US 421 (Speedway Road) at NC 115 southeast of North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. A dedication ceremony is planned when the sign is available. More details as they become available will be posted on the website www.savethespeedway.net.
