CARAWAY SPEEDWAY
CARAWAY SPEEDWAY
Opened in 1966 as a dirt track, Caraway Speedway in Sophia, North Carolina paved its way to becoming one of the region's most competitive tracks when they put the pavement surface down in 1972. The .455 oval has been operated by the Hackett family for decades. Caraway has been a mainstay in the Southern Modified scene and with the SMART Modified Tour.
The 2025 Robert Jeffreys Memorial will be the 81st SMART Modified Tour race at Caraway. Junior Miller is the all-time most winning driver at Caraway in SMART history with 23 wins.
Fans can enjoy action packed excitement, clean restrooms, good concessions and a spacious midway with each visit to the Speedway.
