Need for Speed: A Guide to Nashville's Race Tracks (Hold onto Your Hats!)
So, you've got a hankering for some high-octane thrills and Nashville is your pit stop? Buckle up, gearheads, because Music City surprisingly offers more than just twangy tunes and hot chicken.
The Big Kahuna: Nashville Superspeedway
This behemoth is the undisputed heavyweight champion of Nashville racing. Think: a 1.33-mile D-shaped monster with enough banking (14 degrees!) to make your head spin faster than a stock car on a hot lap. It's hosted prestigious events like NASCAR and IndyCar, so you know it's the real deal.
Tip: Break it down — section by section.
Need a break from the NASCAR madness? Fear not, fellow thrill-seekers! Nashville has a couple of other contenders ready to rev your engine.
The OG: Fairgrounds Speedway
Reminder: Save this article to read offline later.
Nestled right smack in the middle of the action (and conveniently close to a whole lot of fried goodness), the Fairgrounds Speedway is a Nashville institution. This historic track boasts a rich racing tradition, perfect for those who appreciate a bit of vintage nostalgia with their need for speed.
Bonus! It's also way easier on the wallet than the Superspeedway, so you can save your pennies for that post-race celebratory hot chicken.
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
