Alabama Motorsports Park gates will be fully operational by 2010 in South Alabama. The complex will boast three racing venues: an oval track, which is branded A Dale Earnhardt Jr Speedway, a road course and a karting track—and will accommodate stock car, truck, open wheel, sprint and motorcycle racing.
In addition to motorsports, the master plan includes a wide variety of commercial enterprises including residential, hospitality, retail, restaurants and location based entertainment.
The world’s fascination with the automobile has morphed into a mainstream love affair. The automobile as we know it today was not invented in a single day by a single person. Ideas built upon previous successes and new ideas reflect the evolution that took place worldwide to invent the automobile. As the car itself was an evolution so has been the vast world of racing. Some enthusiasts like to collect and restore vehicles. There are others that browse car shows annually. Then there are those who are race fans.
Alabama Motorsports Park invites racers, fans, sanctioning bodies and entertainment seekers to come and feel the thrill of A Dale Earnhardt Jr. Speedway.
