Greenville-Pickens Speedway is a race track located near Greenville,
South Carolina, USA. The track hosts weekly NASCAR sanctioned races.
Several touring series visit the track each year, including the Whelen
Southern Modified Tour and the NASCAR Grand National Division. NASCAR
Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series teams frequently test at the track
since testing is allowed only at non-current NASCAR tracks.[1] The Upper
South Carolina State Fair has held at the track since 1964.[1]

The track held 29 races on the NASCAR Grand National (now Sprint Cup)
tour between 1951 until 1971. It also hosted two NASCAR Busch Grand
National (now Nationwide Series) tour races in 1983. The April 10, 1971
race at Greenville-Pickens Speedway was the first NASCAR race nationally
televised from start to finish.

In 2010, Marty Ward tied Donnie Bishop to be the only six time
champions. Marty Ward going for #7 in 2011, finishing 2nd in both twin
50 opening night races.
Greenville Pickens' rich history is still being played out.

greenville pickens is a good track but the owner kevin whitaker is
really not a good track promoter he picks his buddy drivers or favorites
and lets them off with certain stuff suck as frame heights and EVEVN
traction control

This was the only track to host the NASCAR All Pro/Southeast Series
during every year of its 16-year existence...in fact it hosted two races
every year from 1991 through 2006.

The names of the track's champions are famously immortalized by being
painted on its outside wall.

1990's had a driver name Richard Starkey he drove the number 8 Chevy. He
was not a regular but did race in five or six SJAP at GPS in the 90's
and a few at other tracks. We also ran in the America Challenge that was
taken over by SJAP We took the car to Daytona to race at Volusia
Speedway and made the field. He finished all but one of his enters in
SJAP but his name don't show any where. I know for a fact because I was
one of his crew members with Paul Morrow, and others. I still have some
picture of us at race track. I know live out west trying to find info
about my friend & driver.
