Lanier National Speedway is a 0.375-mile paved oval racetrack just
outside of Braselton, Georgia. The track opened in 1982 as a dirt track,
and was paved in the mid-1980s. The track is under the NASCAR Whelen
All-American Series banner with Super Late Model's, SuperTruck's,
Junkyard Dog's, Outlaw Late Model's, Mini Stock's, INEX RaceCeiver/zMax
Legend's Cars and INEX Bandolero Car's.

Lanier Speedway is located just north of the Road Atlanta motor racing
circuit on the opposite or northern side of the Winder Highway.

The Speedway held 5 races for the NASCAR Busch Series between 1988 and
1992.

Lanier Speedway is up for sale, and has no local events scheduled for
2012. In fact only one race is on tap for this season. Remains to be
seen whether it will happen or not.

This is a different Chris from the one who posted above.

The track is listed at .375 miles but why is it that 2 of the 9 events
shown here are different sizes? In 2005, it is listed as .400 miles for
the ARCA race. In 2008 for the Whelen Southern Modified Tour race is it
shown as .370 miles.

It would make sense perhaps if it was .375 back when the Busch Series
ran it from 1988 - 1992 and then was lengthened to .400 miles in 2005,
but how does it go from .400 miles to .370 miles in 2008 back to .375 a
year later in 2009?

The track fell into disrepair after its closure in 2011 but is built
rebuilt into a new motorsports facility. All of the track's infield
structures and walls have been demolished and the track has been redone
with a complete paving job of the entire infield and the oval area to
create a large open area that is planned to be used for drifting
competitions.

The World of Outlaws raced here in the mid-1980s before the track was paved.

For several year's this track's tagline was "Where Georgia Does NASCAR."
The track is located literally right across the street from the world
famous Road Atlanta road course, it is positioned behind the road
course's frontstretch.
