    WHEN THE ENGINES NO LONGER ROAR: A CASE STUDY OF NORTH WILKESBORO, N. C. AND THE NORTH WILKESBORO SPEEDWAY A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Andrew J. Baker June 2005 This thesis entitled WHEN THE ENGINES NO LONGER ROAR: A CASE STUDY OF NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. AND THE NORTH WILKESBORO SPEEDWAY BY ANDREW J. BAKER has been approved for the Department of Geography and the College of Arts and Sciences by Timothy G. Anderson Associate Professor of Geography Leslie A. Flemming Dean, College of Arts and Sciences BAKER, ANDREW J. M.A. June 2005. Geography When The Engines No Longer Roar: A Case Study of North Wilkesboro, N.C. and the North Wilkesboro Speedway (83pp.) Director of Thesis: Timothy G. Anderson Over the last fifty years, the sport of NASCAR has become nationalized, leaving behind the small, Carolina towns where much of the lore and origins of stock car racing began. In 1996, the stock car engines no longer roared at North Wilkesboro Speedway (NWS) as racing ceased to exist after fifty years in the tiny, northwestern North Carolina town of North Wilkesboro. This thesis examines how the loss of NASCAR at North Wilkesboro Speedway has altered the local population’s sense of place and self-identity or image. The research in this thesis is based on assessment of editorials, articles, and opinion discussions from two local newspapers, The Record of Wilkes and The Journal- Patriot, and a survey of Wilkes County residents.
