North Wilkesboro Speedway is introducing a new premium hospitality area, 47 Reserve, for the July 19 Window World 450. Located just behind the grandstands, the special-event space features a rustic design that honors the venue’s history as one of NASCAR’s earliest tracks. North Wilkesboro Speedway first opened in 1947, and this summer’s race will mark the first NASCAR Cup Series points race in nearly 30 years.
Each 47 Reserve hospitality package includes a reserved table for eight guests; eight frontstretch grandstand tickets; eight pre-race track passes with stage-front access to the Sawyer Brown concert and driver introductions; four VIP parking passes and a limited-edition hat for each guest. The new 47 Reserve special event space will include food and non-alcoholic beverages, a cash bar, flat-screen TVs to follow the on-track action and appearances by drivers and other industry personalities.
47 Reserve will accommodate up to 224 guests, is located near the main entrance and pairs rustic character with upscale amenities, honoring the heritage of North Wilkesboro Speedway. The venue traces its roots to 1947, hosting stock car races before NASCAR was formally established in 1948. The speedway’s first NASCAR race followed in October 1949, won by Bob Flock.
Wilkes County, long known as the “Moonshine Capital of the World,” played a key role in the sport’s origins. Early drivers like Junior Johnson honed their skills while modifying cars to outrun law enforcement, later bringing those same machines to the track to compete—laying the groundwork for organized stock car racing at North Wilkesboro.
Available on race day to guests in 47 Reserve, the Call Family Distillery’s exclusive 47 Reserve Bourbon honors that legacy. Bold yet smooth, it’s a toast to perseverance, heritage, and the enduring soul of North Wilkesboro Speedway.
