Love having a place that is an affordable evening out under the beautiful TN sky. Great activity to enjoy with the whole family. My only advice is bring your chairs because the grandstands can get a little uncomfortable after a while.

This was my first time to Newport speedway. I've been to a few other around this area and mostly attend Kingsport. I was greatly impressed with this track. It has high banks and the racers seem to be faster. I couldn't tell if the driving was better or if the track made them look better. I really enjoyed it all. Please don't come without hearing protection.

Great place to watch a race. Fast track, steep turns and lots of action. All this with a beautiful back drop of the Appalachian Mountains.

If you want to see some great short track racing come here. Owners are great, track just got a major makeover. Concessions are great so come hungry. Great prices to get in for a great show.

Situated at the foot of the Great Smoky Mountains is this awesome little 4/10 mile short track which boasts some of the steepest banking in all of racing. (24 degrees in the turns)

Every time I have been there, the car fields were good and the racing great. I'd recommend it to any race fan who happen to be in the Gatlinburg/Sevierville area and want to see some good old fashion auto racing to take the short trip up the road to Newport and see for themselves.
