More about Echo Park Speedway
Echo Park Speedway, formerly Atlanta Motor Speedway, is a premier motorsports and entertainment complex located in Hampton, Georgia, just south of downtown Atlanta. Opened in 1960 as a traditional 1.5-mile oval, the facility quickly earned a reputation for speed and thrilling competition in NASCAR’s top divisions. Over the decades, the track underwent numerous renovations to modernize the fan experience and racing surface, including major reconfigurations in 1997 and most recently in 2022.
In 2023, the facility was renamed Echo Park Speedway through a new title sponsorship agreement with EchoPark Automotive, signaling a fresh chapter for one of NASCAR’s most historic venues. The speedway’s latest reconfiguration introduced steeper banking and narrower racing lines, transforming the track into a hybrid superspeedway-style circuit. These changes brought pack-style racing more typical of Daytona or Talladega, providing closer finishes and heightened drama for both drivers and fans.
Beyond stock car racing, Echo Park Speedway has hosted a wide range of events, including concerts, car shows, and driving experiences. The venue features expansive camping areas and modern fan amenities, making it a popular destination for both local visitors and traveling motorsports enthusiasts.
Today, Echo Park Speedway remains a key stop on the NASCAR Cup Series calendar, including its annual summer night race that draws fans from across the Southeast. Its blend of tradition, modern racing excitement, and family-friendly entertainment ensures that Echo Park Speedway continues to be a centerpiece of Georgia’s sporting culture.
