You cannot beat the Friday night dirt track racing at Carolina Speedway! My son and I have been…read morecoming to Carolina Speedway for the past few years and I'd highly recommend this track to any racing fan! This dirt track has similar racing to the dirt tracks you might have seen other areas of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. You will find this track very well managed and operated. Things that stand out for me include: - There is plenty of free parking and it's easy to get in and out. - Tickets are not that expensive (~$20) and kids 11 and under get in free! - There is plenty of seating and you are not tightly packed in. Bring your blanket, cooler, and spread out! - The Concession Stand and "Sugar Shack" both have great food at good prices. I've found the food at this track to be the best of many of the other tracks in the area! - The prayer and invocation at the start of the race is authentic and caring. - The announcing is on point, informative, and loud enough to hear. - You feel safe as there are many friendly fans. You also see friendly police officers stationed nearby in case there is ever an issue. Paramedics are also staffed to handle any issues on the track. - About an hour into racing they have an event called "Kids Meeting Time" where the kids in attendance are asked to gather near the concession stand. They then get free candy thrown out from the track mascots: Mudwagon the Dragon or Captain Carolina. My son loves this!!! - The track is well maintained, safe for drivers and fans, and seems great to race on. - And, most importantly, the racing is excellent, fast paced, and exciting! We enjoy all the divisions and there always seem to be a lot of cars in each division. I've referred to Carolina Speedway as a "gem" in Gaston County and every time I come out with my family we have a blast!!!

Racist?? Hope not!…read more This was our first time at this drag strip and there was a trailer about two car lengths long parked in front of the entrance sign which we did not see due to it being blocked. We drove in and parked thinking we would pay at the building by the bleachers. We were approached by a golf cart that had a heavy set man with gray hair and a woman with long brown hair who were extremely nasty and accusatory. They treated my family and I as though we are liars and thieves. I was taken aback at how rude and inconsiderate they were being in front of my children at that. Put more signs up (maybe at the entrance when you drive in and Stop signs on BOTH sides so people know the rules and where to stop and pay when you have huge trailers parked and blocking the one low leveled Stop sign you have. Also, maybe treat people with respect; I would really hate to think these people felt they could speak to me this way due to my skin color - that was definitely the vibes I got!! Shameful and ruined what could have been a great day.

Use to be a fun and family oriented track. Track itself is awesome to race on, especially when wet.read more

I love the fact that they have sections marked for families, so basically the people who drink beer etc.. Have a section of their own and normally you won't see a lot of people drinking in the family section.. A few people do get a little rowdy when it comes to one of their favorite drivers wrecking or getting knocked out place but its actually funny to watch sometimes.
