Smoky Mountain Speedway, just outside Maryville, Tennessee, offers classic dirt track oval racing. If you're looking for asphalt thrills, this isn't it; expect a full-on dirt experience. This isn't an indoor, climate-controlled karting center - it's outdoor oval racing, so dress accordingly, especially if it's been raining. You'll find grandstand seating so you can watch the races, and you'll likely be able to get close to the action. Located in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, the speedway provides a somewhat rustic racing experience. Bring cash for concessions, and check local racing forums for the events calendar as it hosts races throughout the warmer months. Depending on the events scheduled, the speedway is great for families who want to introduce their kids to racing, or for groups of friends looking for a weekend activity. It is primarily designed for spectators of dirt oval racing events.
