NASCAR UNVEILS 75TH ANNIVERSARY LOGO

Next season will mark the 75th anni-

versary of NACAR. With this major milestone, NASCAR unveiled a commemorative logo to mark what will be a year-long celebration.

The diamond in the center of the logo has five stripes representing the five different logos throughout NASCAR history. The stripes feature colors pulled from the previous logos’ primary hues (red in the 1948 logo, yellow in 1956 and blue in 1964). “As much as it is a reflection of the fairly unique and rich history of our past, we really want it to be symbolic of where we are today as a sport and as a brand, and where we expect it to go in the future,” NASCAR chief marketing officer Peter Jung told Adweek.

SPEEDWAY MOTORSPORTS AND

NASCAR announced that, as part of NASCAR’s 75th anniversary season, the NASCAR All-Star Race will be held at historic North Wilkesboro Speedway in 2023, capping off a three-day event weekend at one of stock car racing’s most storied venues, May 19-21, 2023.

“Motorsports are critical to North Carolina’s history, culture and economy, and our investments have helped to get the engines running again in places that needed revival,” said Gov. Roy Cooper. “North Wilkesboro Speedway is back and better than ever, and the All-Star Race will take it to new heights.”

North Wilkesboro, then a dirt track, hosted its first race in May of 1947. Over the next five decades, the 0.625-mile circuit hosted 93 NASCAR Cup Series races – its list of winners a variable who’s who of NASCAR royalty, including Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip, Dale Earnhardt, Cale Yarborough and hometown hero Benny Parsons. Next year, the 39th running of the NASCAR All-Star Race will mark the first Cup Series event at North Wilkesboro Speedway since 1996.
