Although “The Rock” has operated continuously for almost 40 years, it experienced a rebirth in 1992 when it was purchased by Steve Earwood, who transformed it from a facility that produced only two major races each year to one that today operates weekly from February through November.

Under Earwood’s direction, the track's rich performance history, which includes an ongoing 37-year streak as the host of at least one major national drag racing championship, has been augmented not only be an expanded racing schedule but by a comprehensive track improvement and expansion program.
