Southern National Motorsports Park (formerly Southern National Speedway and Southern National Raceway Park) is a 4/10-mile auto racing track in Lucama, North Carolina.[2]
In 2009, the track essentially closed with only a single racing event taking place on the track. The PASS South Super Late Model Series held one of their points races at the track on September 26, 2009. A USARacing Pro Cup Series event had been scheduled for August 15, 2009, but it was canceled by the series and replaced by a second race at Langley Speedway.
Southern National Raceway Park came up for auction on October 7, 2011 and Michael Diaz purchased the facility for $650,000. The track re-opened in 2012 as Southern National Motorsports Park with a regular racing schedule.
In December 2015, the track was added to the racing simulation site iRacing.com.
On December 18, 2020, it was announced that Southern National would host an ARCA Menards Series East race for the first time on June 12, 2021.[3][needs update]
The track would lose its ARCA East race but would gain a Carolina Pro Late Model Series and SMART Modified Tour race in 2022.
Southern National would host the richest Late Model Stock race in history, their annual Thanksgiving Classic in 2022, paying $50,000 to win. This year in 2023, the facility is celebrating its 30th anniversary.
