    Rockingham Speedway will host a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race, tentatively scheduled for the second weekend of April 2012, sources have told ESPN The Magazine.

    The announcement will be made Wednesday afternoon during a news conference at the one-mile racetrack.

    The event will mark the track's first NASCAR event since the then-Winston Cup Series held its 78th and final race at "The Rock" on Feb. 22, 2004.

    As part of a court settlement, International Speedway Corporation, NASCAR's track ownership arm, sold the track to Speedway Motorsports Incorporated and Bruton Smith. After a series of schedule changes Rockingham's race date was essentially moved west to SMI's Texas Motor Speedway.
