Dixie Speedway is a 3/8 mile clay oval in Woodstock, Georgia.
Located 30 miles north of downtown Atlanta, the track features over 5,000 permanent seats on a 150-acre property.
Opened in 1968, the venue has been owned by Mickey and Martha Swims since 1976.[1]
Touring series that visit the speedway include American Flat Track and the Late Model Dirt Series by Lucas Oil.[2]
The track also holds a season-opening doubleheader, the Schaeffer's Oil Spring Nationals, in cooperation with nearby Rome Speedway.[3]
Dixie Speedway is noted to be the first track where NASCAR Legend Bill Elliot started racing,[4] and is also the site where he won his first race.[5] It is also notable that Dixie Speedway has a very family-friendly atmosphere, not allowing any alcohol sales and maintaining a 12 AM curfew.[6]
"Dixie speedway was built in Woodstock, Georgia long before it was known as a bustling and growing town like it is today. Historic Dixie Speedway was established in 1969 and for most of its existence has been owned by the Mickey Swims family. Laid out over 150 acres, the 3/8 mile red clay dirt track has entertained millions of fans over its 50-year+ history. More than a million square feet of event space and a permanent seating capacity of over 5,000, makes Dixie Speedway one of the most flexible event venues in the state of Georgia. Known for its family atmosphere, Dixie Speedway doesn't permit alcohol sales, adheres to a midnight curfew and at most events children eight and under are admitted free. The track's legacy has been recognized nationwide. Dixie Speedway was inducted into the National dirt racing Hall of Fame, voted North Georgia's premier dirt track and tourist destination by 'USA Today' along with many local and national awards. Because of its homegrown atmosphere and local southern aesthetic, the track is home to many film projects, including being the featured location for the 2017 dirt track racing movie Champion. Other film projects include the 1970s classic Kenny Rogers 'Six Pack', 'Thank You For Your Service' and Billy Lynn's 'Long Halftime Walk' as well as being named to Georgia's film selfie spot tour. Dixie Speedway is also host to more than 20 events every year such as weekly and national touring start car races, outlaw sprint cars, AMA flat track motorcycles, monster truck nationals, concerts, and more. Dixie Speedway has something happening all season long. Although Dixie Speedway enjoys national recognition, its true value is being a cherished part of Georgia's history. Generations of families have experienced first-class entertainment while making memories that last a lifetime."[7]
