The 3/8 mile oval was built in 1967 as a asphalt track. In April of 1984
it was converted to dirt. In 1996 it was converted to concrete. The 3/8
mile oval has operated variously as Kingsport International Speedway,
Raceland Kingsport, Kingsport Motor Speedway, New Kingsport Speedway,
Tri-Cities Speedway, MARCA Motorsports Community and Galaxy Kingsport
Speedway.

The 1/5 mile oval was built in 1994 and operated until 2000. It has
operated under the names Kingsport Mini-Way, Galaxy Kingsport Mini-Way
and MARCA Motorsports Community.

The Track Re-Opened in 2009, and ran 1 race, in replacement of a rained
out event at Jacksonville, North Carolinaâ??s Coastal Plains Speedway.
Brandon McReynolds, the son of former NASCAR crew chief and current
television commentator Larry McReynolds, basically put on a clinic. He
had what can only be described as a perfect day. He was fastest in
pre-race practice, qualified on the pole, led the most laps, and won the
race.

Apparently Robert Pressley (former Sprint Cup driver) bought the track
and racing will return under NASCAR sanction.

I live 40 miles from this great place, and I'm so happy he bought this
track. Great races, love the Fight Nights.

Is actually pretty close to Bristol, should hold a friday night truck
series race in March bristol weekend, fitting 36 trucks may be tight but
it can be done. Would bring a tonof already in town NASCAR fans from
Bristol in to the track, enough seats and parking could be a problem
though.

Looks there are smaller paved and dirt ovals also located next to the
track. Looks like the main track is really set down in a bowl...must be
a cool place to watch a race.

1/5 mile track is called the "Kingsport Miniway", and was resurfaced and
reopened this year for karting events~

Is there a smaller track than a quarter mile on this site? No 1/5 race
is up for the mini version, so I wonder if there is one.
