The track held a Truck Series race, an Xfinity Series race, and an ARCA race on Easter weekend.
The NASCAR Cup Series left the track in 2004, and while Rockingham held several races in other series, Rockingham stayed vacant throughout the 2010s after its final race in 2013.

'We've basically taken it in first gear as far as we can go, building it out, getting it ready for bigger and better hands,' Lovenheim told The Charlotte Observer. 'And the time is right to pass the baton to someone who can take it farther than we can.'
A new buyer will be selected by the 1st of July and there is now an open offer period.

Goldman Sachs Reduced Bath & Body Works Inc (BBWI) Price Target
Goldman Sachs maintained its Buy recommendation on Bath & Body Works, Inc. (NYSE:BBWI) shares and reduced its price objective from $44 to $43. A female customer browsing a variety of body care products in a retail store. Bath & Body Works, Inc. (NYSE:BBWI)'s strong first-quarter results were probably overshadowed by guidance that fell short of expectations. However, the analyst informs investors in a research note that today's 6% stock price loss "seems overdone" because the firm's FY25 EPS forecast is only declining by roughly 3%. The Ohio-based business profited from U.S. sourcing, with only 10% of items coming from China and 7% from Canada and Mexico, reducing exposure to tariffs amid President Trump's continued trade uncertainty. Bath & Body Works, Inc. (NYSE:BBWI)'s CFO Eva Boratto noted the company's innovative products, such as Easter-themed candles, its robust domestic supply chain, and its ability to appeal to younger consumers through gift packaging and promotions. While we acknowledge the potential of BBWI to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Should You Buy, Hold, or Sell Costco Stock Post-Q3 Earnings?
Costco Wholesale Corporation COST will report its third-quarter fiscal 2025 results on Thursday after the market closes. Thus, let's analyze Costco's anticipated earnings, the factors contributing to its long-term growth, and strategies for trading the stock post-earnings release. For the fiscal third quarter, Costco's revenues and earnings are expected to improve, banking on an uptick in comparable store sales in April. Costco's core comparable sales in the United States jumped 7.1% last month and exceeded estimates despite a calendar-related issue from the shift in Easter timing. Costco's U.S. store traffic and global traffic increased by 5% and 4.2%, respectively, while the average transaction size grew 2.4% from a year ago. Moreover, Costco's e-commerce sales experienced 13% growth in April from the comparable month last year. Core sales in Canada and other international markets took a hit due to price rises and macroeconomic pressures. However, this wasn't due to an anti-American sentiment. Soft results in the international market were offset by strong sales in the Southeast, Midwest and Northeast U.S. regions. Costco expressed worries regarding elevated beef prices but indicated that these pricing pressures will not affect sales in the fiscal third quarter as severely as the previous egg inflation did. As a result, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for Costco's fiscal third-quarter revenues is $63.1 billion, suggesting a 7.9% year-over-year increase. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal third-quarter earnings per share (EPS) is $4.25, indicating a 12.4% rise from the previous year. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research To top it off, Costco has consistently exceeded earnings expectations by an average of 0.8% over the past four quarters. This suggests that Costco may show earnings growth in its upcoming earnings report on Thursday after market close, which could have a favorable impact on its stock price. (Find the latest EPS estimates and surprises on Zacks Earnings Calendar.) Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Costco is running a successful membership model, which bodes well for its long-term prospects. Consumers often struggle to make firm decisions when purchasing everyday goods. Yet, Costco has successfully retained customers since its establishment in 1983. This is because the company operates as a membership club rather than a traditional retailer, which incentivizes its members to enhance the value they receive in exchange for their annual fees. By the way, membership fees have recently gone up to enhance Costco's profit margins during the second half of fiscal year 2025 and the start of fiscal year 2026. This revenue stream, which has a high profit margin, is expected to provide the company with more flexibility to handle the effects of tariffs without having to raise prices. Furthermore, Costco enjoys a high level of customer loyalty, with the renewal rate presently reaching a record 93%. This suggests that shoppers are drawn to the company's business model, which offers low prices on high-quality products. Costco made its supply chain more effective, increased item turnover, and simplified inventories by reducing the variety of products offered. All these have positioned Costco as one of the top performers in the retail sector, rivaling its peers such as Burlington Stores, Inc. BURL, Dollar General Corporation DG and Dollar Tree, Inc. DLTR, to name a few. The increase in comparable store sales indicates that the upcoming quarterly results will be encouraging, likely resulting in a surge in the stock price. Investors are encouraged to take advantage of this upward trend by purchasing shares in Costco. Additionally, Costco's solid customer loyalty and improvements in its operational processes will contribute to its growth in the near future. From a technical perspective, Costco stock is trading above both the short-term 50-day moving average (DMA) and long-term 200-DMA, indicating a bullish trend. This suggests that it's wise to invest in Costco stock. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research For now, Costco has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
