Carolina Speedway is one of the oldest and most successful short tracks in the South. Nestled right on the NC/SC border Carolina Speedway has long been a fan and driver favorite. From a fan’s point of view, the track has adopted the ‘Carolina’s Action Track’ slogan for its non-stop action filled events. The ‘racy’ surface has drawn competitors from all over the Carolinas for many years. Carolina Speedway has been selected to film several TV shows and commercials, including an Armor All commercial staring NASCAR’s Tony Stewart.
