www.shorttrackscene.comI don’t have live access to current feeds right now, so I can’t pull the very latest articles. Here’s what’s publicly known about Myrtle Beach Speedway in recent years, with brief context and typical sources you can check for updates.
Direct answer
- The status and operations of Myrtle Beach Speedway have fluctuated in the 2020s, with periods of intermittent racing activity, a move toward “outlaw” unsanctioned status in some seasons, and partnerships that shifted racing schedules to nearby tracks. For the most current status, please check local South Carolina news outlets and the track’s official channels.
Context and what to look for
- Ownership and redevelopment: There have been reports over the years of developers showing interest in the property and discussions about rezoning or redevelopment, which could influence the track’s future use. When a sale or redevelopment is near, local business journals or major local papers typically publish follow-ups. Look for updates from The Sun News or The Post and Courier (SC regional outlets) and any press releases from the track or developers.
- Race schedule and sanctioning: Myrtle Beach Speedway has at times operated as an “outlaw” or non-NASCAR-sanctioned venue, sharing licenses or aligning with other regional tracks for a combined series. Updates on sanctioning status are often covered by regional motorsports outlets and YouTube channels covering short-track racing.
- Community and events: The track has hosted a mix of NASCAR-related events, local racing, and non-racing attractions (drifting, concerts, monster trucks). Local event calendars and the track’s social media pages are good places to monitor for announced events or cancellations.
