A new general manager has been appointed at Bobby Watson’s Carteret County Speedway in Peletier, North Carolina.

Mark Watson will oversee track duties for the 4/10-mile, low-banked asphalt track. Watson has been involved in racing for three decades—as both a competitor and track operator—and has worked at Carteret County Speedway since its inaugural race in September 2015.

“I’m excited to help carry out Bobby’s dream and help the track move forward,” Watson said in reference renowned promoter, racer and original track owner Bobby Watson. “We’re working to keep improving as we move forward in this new venture. I’ll still be visible on race days and I’m looking forward to working with the drivers and with Bob [Lowery, track owner] and the staff at Carteret County Speedway.”

Watson, in addition to his years of experience in the industry, studied engineering at Wilson Tech.
