Great track, great people, and an awesome time, but there’s a porta john under the scoreboard where we sit and they won’t clean it out. Been to every race and it’s to the point where when the door is opened it runs everybody in the area off and is absolutely unbearable. Would change to 5 stars if this porta john was cleaned regularly would be 5 stars for sure.
It is a nice short race track. Plce was nice. The only problem is they allow smoking and for a non smoker this would be very uncomfortable. People smoke even around kids and elderly. We had to move to several different places to enjoy races.
This was first time at this speedway and it was a good night . This speedway is very up to date with modern ways and strive to make it better for the customers . They have several different food and snack options along with ice cream and alcoholic drinks . You can also bring your own chairs to sit in or you can sit in the stands . The stands are way more than just a barely standing handrail the bleachers here are very safe . We as a family go to many different tracks all over so one of my pet peeves is the condition of the stands . I have an 8 yr old and bleachers aren’t to mess with when your spending several hours sitting in them 💜💜
This is one of the greatest short tracks in the eastern US. It has a long history of racing dating back to the '50's, and is responsible for helping to start the careers of the Burtons, Elliott Sadler, Denny Hamlin and many others. Years ago when the modifieds were popular, drivers like Ray Hendrick, Paul Radford, Sonny Hutchins and others ran there Weekly. Weekly racing highlights now start with Late Model stock, limiteds, hornets and pure stocks and occasionally you can catch the Southern Ground Pounders. These are cars from the past from the '30's through the '60's, modifieds and spirtsmans and they put on a great show.
If you are in the southern VA. area on a Saturday night, stop by and catch the action. They race every 2 weeks during the summer.
Loved spending time and making memories here with my 90 year old dad and my daughter. The races were action packed. Plenty of food and drink available.
Great track!!! Plenty of seating and an area for kids to play. (You do still have to keep an eye on them) The kids play ground is a large area with plenty of room to play. The race was excellent!!! Bring ear protection if you don't like loud noises as it is very loud like any other race track....
Nice night out at the speedway! The fireworks also didn't disappoint. They were a nice finish to the end of the race. One thing I do wish is that smoking was only allowed in a designated area and not allowed in the stands. I love going to the race, but no matter where I have sat, there's always someone nearby lighting up a cigarette without any care of how it affects the people around them. I, personally, am very sensitive to it and don't care if someone wants to smoke, but wish it was not allowed in the stands so for those of us that dont smoke can watch the race without dealing with that. And children shouldn't have to breathe that in either. Other than that, it's always a pleasure going to the race.
A true jewel of the southeast. The track puts on really good racing events, the facilities are modern enough, probably better than the average sports venue. Food is fantastic, and unique (Bologna burgers are a must). Ticket prices are not bad either.
I was sitting a bit lower in the stands, and could still see pretty well when standing, but say most of the time and could still see well.
This is another short track that puts on a show no matter what class of car is driving. I’ve seen modified, late models, super late models, and the SRX series here, and it’s all very good.
Clean restrooms and eating areas. Plenty of seating whether you want the grandstand experience or bring your own comfortable chair. Nice option to bring your own cooler in and the tail gate spots are nice. Sound is clear and the track is well maintained. Nice place to take the family. And yes they have great bologna burgers. Plenty of events scheduled to enjoy.
Very similar racing to Hickory. Track facilities are way better than there though. This was a great track to host SRX . Bleachers here are constructed in a way so that common stadium chairs dont work properly and there are gaps where you can drop belongings through. You cant really see around the whole track from the front stretch either, but overall this track was a great experience and was totally worth the 3+ hour drive from North Wilkesboro
My first SRX experience was amazing! For a Tony Stewart fan to drive 300 miles to see him win was phenomenal!! Thanks South Boston for a great Saturday evening!!
Took my granddaughter to her first race ever and she loved it! She just turned 7. I think this was the most fans I have see in a long time. Great racing!
This is a place that you definitely want to put on your racing bucket list. So much history and the racing is phenomenal. The track crew and everyone involved makes sure that the races are ran according to schedule. Car count and fan count are both great!!
Trading paint on Saturday nights at South Boston Speedway is a 64 year tradition. Bologna burgers are a track specialty you’ll def want to try. The scent of burning rubber, roar of engines, and checkered flag remind me of my first track memories. The facility is clean and nicely landscaped. Gate staff and concessions staff were super friendly and hardworking. A fun, family-friendly activity.
Bologna Burgers and lots of bumpin'! Seriously, this place is run with such precision and high quality that you quickly lose those "small-town" track expectations, until the racing starts! Great surface, fast cars and not a single bad view in this historic arena. A shame it took me this long to get there, but it won't be long before I'm back!
