Dominion Raceway broke ground in 2013 and opened in 2016 in Thornburg, Virginia, replacing Old Dominion Speedway which closed in 2012. Old Dominion Speedway, originally called Longview Speedway, was the birthplace of the modern Late Model Stock Car division in 1979 when promoter Dick Gore created the class. The historic facility hosted NASCAR Grand National Series races in 1958 and from 1963 to 1966, featuring legends like Lee Petty, Richard Petty, Ralph Earnhardt, and Ned Jarrett.
The new Dominion Raceway complex features a 2-mile road course that is 36 feet wide with 12 turns and over 70 feet of elevation change. The longest straight measures 2,700 feet. The facility includes a fully paved paddock, clubhouse with bar, lounge, showers, and electrical hookups.
Located at 6501 Dominion Raceway Avenue in Thornburg, Virginia, off Interstate 95 between Richmond and Washington D.C., the motorsports complex includes a 0.4-mile oval track, an IHRA sanctioned 1/8-mile drag strip, 118 Bar & Grill, and Groove Music Hall.
Dominion Raceway hosts NASCAR regional racing, SCCA Track Night in America, Superkart events, club racing, concerts, drive-in movies, and amateur road course events. The facility offers driving experiences including Xtreme Xperience supercar programs.
