A late addition to the Super Cup Stock Car Series schedule is a long-awaited revisit to a storied facility. Hickory Motor Speedway hosted the very first exhibition race for the series on October 13, 2007. In the early years, the 0.363-mile oval was the site that crowned the inaugural, 2010, and 2011 champions. Aside from a rained out start to 2014 that featured a Friday optional practice session, the 3,300-pound, 600 horsepower machines have not taken to the Newton, North Carolina track since
That all changes for the third event of 2026 thanks to coordination with longtime promoter Kevin Piercy and recently hired track operations, media, and marketing manager Gina Schild-Knowles. The 60-lap main event that will score double points for competitors could be one of the final opportunities on the current characteristic surface as it was revealed that “The Birthplace of NASCAR Stars” is proposed to undergo a full repave around the summer months.
Racing begins at 7:00 p.m.
