Brinkleyville, North Carolina - After four years of lying dormant, Buddy Isles, a long time local racer, drew a lease on this 3/10 mile red clay oval. With just a few short weeks left of race-able weather, Buddy got to work on the track in an effort to bring this track back to life for at least one race in 2012, so he could show the fans and drivers that the track would indeed be ready for 2013. And ready it was, as were the cars. Over 85 cars showed up for opening night on a frigid Saturday to break the track back in after it had been sitting around growing weeds for so long.
