    Me James and Joretta have come to Newport Speedway way back years ago
    We watched the UARA Series racing side by side racing back in the day we had good times to see the most awesome race in the world
    I'll be glad to go back there and seeing some Saturday Night Racing at Newport Speedway
    It was Mayor Matthew's most favorite place to come see his friends his buddies and his pals at Newport Tennessee and it's also the home of NASCAR Tennessee's Legend Hero L.D. Ottinger
    and I will be glad to see it when it's finished and ready to go racing in the '25 season next year and she is ready to take on the next level of racing into the future
    Can't wait to back there

    Boo that's very similar to mobile international speedway here but half mile here around the center it's wide but don't have any walls but the front stretch it would be cool if you could come see a super late race here keep diggin Clay from mobile Alabama

      Hey Mr Clay! Good to hear from you. Mobile is definitely a beast in itself without them outer walls. I remember the ARCA wreck there years ago, where the racer hit a parked car in the parking lot. Awesome bad fast place y’all have down there.

    this track started out as a dirt track in the late 70's. it was a good track, but it developed a bad reputation for fighting all the time. as it was said many times, " we went to a fight and a race broke out". but once it was turned into an asphalt track it slowly but surely went down hill. the attendance numbers dropped, and without fans, you cant run a racetrack. BUT NOW that Chuck Ward has bought it and is refurbishing it and reopening it pretty soon, excitement and interest has grown !!!!! its been abused by the previous owners for way too long. what they did to it should have been illegal and they should have went to jail for it. lolol but its great to see what Chuck is doing to it now !!!!!!!!
