Rockingham Speedway
When Rockingham Speedway, affectionately known as "The Rock," began its journey back to prominence, they knew the fan experience had to be nothing short of extraordinary. That included a sound system worthy of the track’s legendary status — and they trusted Precision Audio to deliver it.
The relationship between Scott Carneval of Precision Audio and Rockingham Speedway’s owner, Dan Lovenheim, started long before engines roared back to life at the track. Precision Audio had previously designed and installed cutting-edge sound systems in several bars and nightclubs Lovenheim owns in Raleigh, NC. When he attended Coachella, he envisioned creating a music and motorsports destination of his own — and that vision led him to purchase and restore Rockingham Speedway.
Reviving an Iconic Venue
Rockingham Speedway has a rich history in American motorsports, hosting major events like the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, NASCAR Truck Series, and the NASCAR Arca Menards Series. As the venue prepared for its highly anticipated return in 2025 — welcoming back NASCAR Xfinity, Truck, and Arca Menard races on Easter Weekend — there was one critical piece missing: sound.
The team needed a solution that could deliver clear, high-impact audio across the massive, open-air venue without compromising quality.
A Connection Built Over Time
Precision Audio’s Solution
Precision Audio installed Danley J8-94 loudspeakers — a system capable of filling the entire track with crisp, powerful sound. Rockingham Speedway is a D-shaped, high-banked oval track measuring 1.017 miles (1.637 km) in length, making sound coverage a real challenge. The Danley J8s, however, were up to the task.
These speakers were strategically positioned to project sound clearly and evenly throughout the massive venue. Remarkably, fans can now hear clear, powerful audio even from 600 feet away, outside the track walls — without distortion or drop-off.
A Lasting Partnership
For Lovenheim, the results were undeniable:
“Once we had Danley, we realized the sound is more superior than anything else and kept going with it. It’s the only thing I use.”

As The Rock prepares to welcome back major racing events, fans can expect an unforgettable experience — and they’ll hear every moment loud and clear.
