Dixie Speedway

Head to the races this Saturday and help tornado victims.

The begins its 42nd season on Saturday. Go enjoy stock car racing at the historic, wide-open dirt track. Even though the venue is family friendly, it’s also the ideal site for an inexpensive great escape with your spouse.

For the season opener, the gate opens at 5 p.m. and racing begins at 7. You can purchase tickets onsite once the gate opens. Adult tickets cost $10 each, and parking is free.

Now is the time to go, because a percentage of the May 7 admission proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross to aid victims of the recent tornados that devastated communities throughout the Southeast.
