EVENT HUB - 2026 ROBERT JEFFREYS MEMORIAL AT 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 and is set to be the final one for the Hacketts as they have announced the sale of the Speedway. 

Caraway has been a mainstay in the Southern Modified scene and with the SMART Modified Tour. 

Fans can enjoy action packed excitement, clean restrooms, good concessions and a spacious midway with each visit to the Speedway.
