We come out to the speedway a few times per year for different events...although we've never been to an actual car race here. Henry County hosts many free family-friendly events here and there is occasionally a paid event/experience from an external vendor/organization. Our most recent visit was for the county's Hot Summer Fest 2025 (on July 3rd). It included an are show, a drone show, and fireworks, plus games, bouncy houses and water slides before the shows began. We also really love the county's trick or treat event here. This past October (2024) they were doing paid rides on the track so my husband got to take a few high speed spins around the track with a professional driver. Honestly, the speedway seems the perfect location for large festival type events. read more

EchoPark Speedway - Air show starting - Race Tracks Near Me - Hampton, Georgia

I went to my very 1st car show this weekend! It was AMAZING to say the least! This used to be called Atlanta Motorpark Speedway. But it's under a different owner now. We will definitely be back for more. We met a bunch of really cool people who are all coming together to share their passion for cars and any other motor vehicles! I got to see drifting LIVE for the very first time and everything from Fast and the Furious came to life, lol. Been a fan before my kids were born. Met Luis De Silva Jr. and Noel Guliemi! RIP Paul Walker. We will definitely be back next year! It was a beautiful weekend full of beautiful people sharing their love for cars. We hope you will join us next year! read more

i'm writing this review for the Noel Christmas light show which is located in this area. I think it's located in their parking lot. It's only in the winter time during Christmas. They also serve hot chocolate and cookies, but you have to buy them on your way in. If you go slow, it takes around 30 minutes to go through it. It's a really cool light show and they have Music connected to an FM radio station. It is a little farther out there, past the airport, depending on where you live. Other than that as long as it's a nice day outside, it's a perfectly fun thing to do for Christmas. read more

We've had the great experience of NASCAR, Monster Jam, and a few other events. We usually rent our RV's out to the attendees and the sports participants. We love it when we can get in early and set up and see all the details before the events take place. We'll be there in a few days for all the hoopla and noise. read more

The Noel Magic Lights were enjoyable. The course was well organized. The lights and radio station were well synced. The pricing was in line with other holiday lighting drive throughs. read more

Fine speedway! Seating was roomy, and the shelf in front was a convenient, albeit unexpected, bonus. We sat in row 58, which afforded relief from the sun, but best of all, a great view of the track.

EchoPark Speedway - Speedway outside - Race Tracks Near Me - Hampton, Georgia

June 28, 2025. By far, the worst butchering of the National Anthem I have ever heard. NASCAR going woke is bad enough but this takes disrespect to a new level. The people that allowed this to happen should be fired. I stopped going to this place years ago. Looking at the TV, it is profoundly sad not only that NASCAR has run off over half of their audience but racetracks are experiencing the same problems. No wonder. How sad. read more

Atlanta Track Club had their annual marathon weekend at the Atlanta Speedway, and we came here as both race participant in the 5k and the 50m kids dash for our 3.5 year old, and I also volunteered for the elite hydration Sunday morning between 4:15am and 10am. It was a big family weekend. The races included the 5k at 5pm on Saturday, the Half Marathon and Marathon on Sunday morning. The kids races were scattered throughout both days and included a kids dash of 50 meters for kids up to 7 years old and then a 1 mile race for kids older then 7. Except for the kids races, the venues started and finished inside the speedway, which was very cool. There was also a virtual race option but those who did race virtually were not eligible me for awards. The start for our 5k was done in 5 minute waves of 20 people on socially distanced dots on the ground. For the marathon and half marathon the waves were 80 people at a time. A DJ at the starting line kept everyone motivated and performed a count down. Thanks to the pandemic waved starts has become a "thing" and as a family has opened up the opportunity for both parents to race individually while the other is watching the kids. This is so much more inclusive. The down side is, at least for the competitors out there, they don't get to run against all the best athletes at once, and do not know how they will fare amongst their competitors until all the waves are done. However, if you put in an honest effort, perhaps it doesn't really matter. A small heat wave had overcome the weekend and all the races were run in conditions much warmer than anticipated. This slowed the field down significantly. I had already run 14 miles in the morning and by the time it was my turn to race I had nearly logged 18 miles on my legs, so my expectations were not high. I still managed a top 10 finish, but was well outside 1 minute of my best. For a 5k 1 minute is a lot! Nicole was happy also to have run twice in the day. Sunday morning very early we were setting up the hydration stations and saw all of the elites who had started at 6:40am. We were supporting 6 elite athletes, among them Kara Roper, Carlos Trujillo, and Clarke Thompson. It was a misty morning and over cast which later broke to clear but muggy conditions. Afterwards, I watched Mayla finish her first registered race which was a lot of fun. It was a fun weekend and look forward to participating again. read more

I enjoyed the motor sports show! MacLedon and the kraken were our favorite. We really enjoyed the show for my kids party. However the cars all kept messing up the day we were there. The parking after the event was horrible. People were walking through the grass lost looking for their cars. It was literally a cluster flock with no direction. No attendants there in the grass area to usher cars out. It was a mess. Drinks were good, food was good read more

I have never been to a NASCAR race or any race for that matter prior to my experience at AMS. I wouldn't rely heavily on my review if I were you. I don't even know the proper terminology. My family and I were given free tickets to the Champions suite, so I didn't even really get to see the stands. We came for the Xfinity Series: Rinnai 250. AMS is huge. We arrived an hour or so before the race, so it was already very busy. There was so much going on. There were live music, tons of vendors, some type of motocross show, and more. Parking is free. The lots filled up quick. Our tickets recommended we park on the blue lot, so we did. It's fairly close to the Champions suite. Then, we realized we needed to pick-up our passes from the pick-up office on the other side of the track. Once we got our passes, we parked back at the blue lot then headed to our Champions suite 124. The suite had a fantastic view of the track. There were plenty of seating. There was "bar" area that served beer and wine, and a small buffet table with decent options. We were handed devices to watch and listen to the drivers as well as a headset to plug into it. There were also TVs in the room to watch the race. Our passes included a tour of the pit. We missed the first tour, so we had our own tour of the pit halfway through the race. It was really cool to see all the equipment, garages, tires, etc, not to mention, watch the race from the pit! It was very loud, but they provided us with ear plugs. We had a really neat experience. My 10-year old son enjoyed listening to the drivers and touring the pit and garages. It was worth a visit! read more

Yesterday, the family went to the "World of Illumination " and we had a great time. The process of getting tickets was simple, and the experience was wonderful, my girls really enjoyed it. I would definitely return. The ONLY critique I have is that most of the lights on the last turn were out... read more

Hmm, this is tricky. Do I review my opinion of NASCAR races or this facility? Maybe a little bit of both. I had never been to a race of any kind, so when I friend called me up with an extra ticket, including some special VIP experiences with wonderkid driver (and Georgia native) Chase Elliott, I was more than game. We took a private limo bus down to Hampton, and this approach is definitely the way to go. While parking is free all the time, we were able to use the bus parking right by the gates and "real" bathrooms, and we also were able to use the bus exit after the race was over, which was key considering the horror stories I've heard of the traffic leaving the facility. Atlanta Motor Speedway is HUGE. The stands hold over 99,000 fans, and the complex spans over 800 acres. Some people even come and camp for the weekend, that is, if they're not so lucky to get to stay in the condos you can buy that are literally right over the race track. While I don't think a living room view of the track is my cup of tea, it was neat to see. There is a free, open air shuttle that connects the different gates and points of interest, but wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be doing a lot of walking. Everything is outside, so in the summer, sunscreen and bug spray are also needed. One nice thing about AMS is that you can bring a small cooler into the stands with whatever non-glass bottled products you like. Yep, no need to pay for overpriced beer or drinks, you can bring it all in for free. Tailgating was also a popular option on the grounds, and we got there about seven hours before the start of the race to take part. With the temperatures in the high 90s, we were grateful for the golf carts selling bags of ice for $5 that frequently made the rounds. For the race, make sure to bring earplugs. You can buy them there too, if you forget. You will have no cell phone service, so a small, battery operated radio that you can plug headphones into is also nice. The seating is general admission within sections, so head inside a little early to get the best seats. You actually want to be a little higher up in the section, so that you can see the full track. Also, if you sit too close to the track, you'll be covered in microscopic little bits of shredded tire, debris, and exhaust fumes. As for NASCAR and the fascination with all things automobile...I highly recommend you read Southern Gothic author Harry Crews' short story "Car." In the novel, a man becomes a small town hero when he sets out to eat a 1971 Ford Maverick from bumper to bumper, excluding the spare tire and jack. Crews is one of the best modern Southern authors around, and his forceful, acerbic take on the car pretty much sums up my thoughts on the NASCAR experience. TLDR, I'm glad I went, and the experience overall was fun, but I won't be in a hurry to return. read more

EchoPark Speedway - Apparently, camping at the NASCAR race is a thing... - Race Tracks Near Me - Hampton, Georgia

Here's the basics: the cars go fast, they turn left (a lot), and people get really excited when an accident occurs. And it holds tens of thousands of people with their eyeballs glued to extremely loud and fast cars. Before I go further, let me point out that I'm not a fan of NASCAR. I grew up twenty minutes from the track at Daytona, and all my early memories of NASCAR involve lots of traffic and my Dad being pissed that his drive to work took ten times longer than normal when a race was in town. I've been to plenty of races, but only when the tickets were given to me. As far as tracks go, AMS is pretty good. It's one of the faster tracks for NASCAR and when the weather cooperates you can get some great races there. Great being a relative term when you're hearing it from me. I haven't been back since the repair job required from a tornado ripping through the grandstands. If you saw the pictures of the damage, it was pretty extensive, but they managed to get everything put back together without significant interruption in race schedules. read more

EchoPark Speedway - Race Tracks Near Me - Hampton, Georgia

I have to start out by saying I am a NASCAR fan and have been for 30+ years. I haven't been to Atlanta Motor Speedway since the backstretch was the front stretch before 1996. While I loved the old grandstand and press box I understand things need to be updated from time to time. I love what they have done to the track. The grandstands are 1000 times nicer. The suite are first class. The traffic pattern in and out is so much better. It was a cold day and attendance was down but that didn't take away from great racing. The racing surface has a lot of character and that keeps the teams on their toes. They can't just set the chassis and leave it. They have to work at it all day to keep their car up front. I was lucky enough to have Club One seats. I can tell you AMS does everything first class. From the minute I stepped into the suite, I was treated very well. The staff took time to answer every question. The food ranged from good to outstanding. Their is plenty to do from pit tours to driver Q & A's If you haven't been to a NASCAR race Atlanta is a great track to see a race. read more

Car lover at heart, and enthusiast so this venue is indeed a great experience for me every time i go. Been coming here for years for several events. Their most popular show is the Friday Night drags and Car show, which you pay to either run the 1/8 mile track, or participate in the car show, in which they give awards to the top cars at the show. After that, everyone goes on the track and does two supervised laps, which is an experience by itself. The most recent show i went to was Import Alliance, which has been coming here for its second year. The next show i'll be coming here is for Autorama, which is April 18 - 19. Perfect show for every gear-head to see a wide selection of vehicles. Obviously, this is Nascar country, which I'm yet to check out, maybe we will try to check a race int he next year or so. read more

AMS is the right size of track. Unfortunately my first experience here was not the best due to weather. Rain and freezing temps made it uncomfortable and unenjoyable. NASCAR needs to make this a mid spring race or fall race in the chase again. Track is an awesome sight when the sun sets and the lights come on. Most attending fans are locals and are rude. Hot Chocolate tastes like runny luke warm water while food is your typical events type of solid food. And make sure to bring a cushion or butt pad cause the grandstands will take a brutal toll on your back and tail. read more

EchoPark Speedway - Driving around the Speedway - Race Tracks Near Me - Hampton, Georgia

Hot and lots of walking. Trams are slow and they have an inefficient model... One lot that has all the day visitors does of good job of getting people from the lot to the activities and gates, but then won't take them back. They keep saying there are 8 other busses, but the only one you see is the one bringing people and not taking them back. Bathrooms are plentiful. Food selection is made up of a lot of fried stuff, but that is the south I guess. We had heard they had good food, but where we were it was corn dogs, chicken fingers, and fries, reheated sausages and cheesesteaks....and sonny's bbq. But since you can bring your own in, there isn't much incentive to provide better options. read more

Don't go to an event here if you plan on buying anything! I recommend going straight to your seat and enjoy the show. I went to Monster jam. My 4 year old wanted a snow cone. Waited in line for at least an hour (didn't want to deal with the disappointment of getting out of line since we were already waiting. by the time we got it the show was ending. It must've been the snow cone lady's first day as slow as she was moving but I don't totally blame it on her, there should've been at least 2 ppl serving each stand. Bc Who wants to sit in line the whole time during a show?? Show lasted only 2 hours (which is disappointing in itself I didn't know it would be so short). It started at 11 we showed up at 11:10. Waited in line for parking another 10-15 they accept cash only for parking (it's 2021 who carries cash?) had to go to the atm and come back. by the time we got there and sat down we probably maybe caught only 5 mins of the show. What a waste ! Not going back and I'm filing a complaint to their team. read more

Visited the Holiday Light Spectacular hosted at the speedway. Was our 3rd year attending and it was So-So. Appeared to have more lights then last year in 2015 but still lacking from 2014. $20.00 was the entrance fee for a car, $3.00 additional charge each person for 3-D glasses if opted for. A few Carnival type rides at the end for an additional fee along with the typical food you would find on any Carnival midway. Think I will pass coming here next year and head to Calloway Gardens and see what they have to offer. read more

OMG HOW HAS NO ONE REVIEWED AMS IN TWO YEARS? NASCAR is awesome. AMS is just ok. I will never forget the first time I went to a race two years ago - we sat in the cheap seats and it was AWESOME. And cheap. Since then, AMS has removed the cheap seats and has forced us to scour our 'connections' for tickets ... they're just too expensive for 'lil 'ol me. AMS as a facility is good - there are condos (which i'd love to live in twice a year) and it's pretty clean for a huge arena. The view it great once you get high enough, and i'm sure camping is awesome (but we've never done it.) Traffic sucks on the way out, even though there are like 50 ways to get back to I-75. Hey, NASCAR has moved the fall race up to labor day (it's now not part of the chase courses) ... and AMS will probably eventually lose it's second-date of the season, so go when you can! It's great people-watching ... if you can afford it. read more

I knew I would get bored right away...it's loud cars, turning left, going round and round on the 1.5 mile track. Only when things go wrong (crashes, cars catching fire or losing tires) does it get interesting. OK, so I'm not a Nascar racing fan, but I *was* a fan on all the pre-race excitement and all the hoopla everywhere...big fan lot in front, lots of activity in the infield in the pit and garages, prizes and giveaways, tons of crazy passionate fans. I love the day-to-night start of the race...all the people, trucks, RVs, and cars in the expansive view of Atlanta Motor Speedway was beautiful to see! Bring earplugs if you're sitting in grandstand seats and are not protected by glass (i.e. the suites). Get here early, as there's lots of traffic heading in to the track. Wear comfortable shoes, as the place is gigantic. If you have pit and garage access, wear long pants and covered shoes- it's required. Most of the event staff is clueless on giving directions, since most are temporary staff...it took 4 or 5 tries before finding someone who could somewhat point me in the right direction, and I finally found my own way. Not bad for my 1st Nascar race. read more

My friend flew in from Dallas and we drove from Nashville to attend the Labor Day night race at AMS. I was excited as this was going to be my second track at which to see a Cup race! Woohoo git 'er DUN! Well, of course, the weather forecast was awful for the Sunday night race but the track pressed on with the 7:30pm start time. This is understandable because you plan a big event like this and you STICK with the PLAN! I'm with ya AMS. We got on our shuttle and got out there Sunday at 2pm to explore and have fun. Outside the track is where all the merch haulers, food, Speed TV, and other sponsor booths are set up. I was a bit underwhelmed with the amount of things out there - compared to Texas Motor Speedway this was small time. But we did eat at a Captain D's food truck (yum), bought some driver merch, saw a Tony Stewart Q&A at the Chevy tent, and basically wandered around enjoying the people watching and the booths. Finally we went in for the pre-race festivities. I wil say that AMS has the concert pre-race DOWN! Lynard Skynard played and they sounded GREAT! They need to get with TX and help them with their sound system. Although it was raining all the pre-race activities occured as planned, including the super cool flyover by fighter jets. Being the diligent fans that we were, we sat in our ponchos and watched (and drank beer) as they dried the track. The track was DRY and we were about to go racing - but then a hard shower for literally 4 or 5 minutes ended with the race being called until Tuesday. Luckily we were able to change flights/get extra night of room and we came back Tuesday to a forlorn and deserted track. But they put on a good race, kept the track dry when it sprinkled, and managed to get people out and on the road in an orderly manner afterwards. AMS I'll be back again - and hopefully won't rain us out next time!! read more

At the 1st Annual Atlanta Motor Cycle Rally. Did you know that this place is huge? There was a concert, a circus and a biker event that had 3000 attendants here all at the same time. Was it congested trying to get in and out of here? Hell yeah. But the fact remains that we did it and with out much of a wait. The concert was great, the Harley Davidson's were great and the food vendors like (Back-A-Yard Cuisine) were absolutely wonderful. This was a Carribbean BBQ vendor and I had Wings, Hamburger and Fried Oreo's over the 2 days that I was here. I grabbed a card because it was so busy that I didn't have a chance to speak with the owners. There email address was backayardbbq@yahoo.com I've also been here with my ex as he drove his Sports Truck around the track and also for a Lexus and maybe a BMW event several years ago. The traffic is always heavy so come with your patience and be ultra careful because many people still drink and drive right up out of here. read more

When there's not a race going on, head on down and take a track tour. It's a short drive around the property but it's given by some very passionate race fans.... the best part of the whole tour is that they take the van on the track and do a couple of laps around 75MPH. Good up close looks at pit row, the garage area and all the behind the scene stuff you don't get to see when you go to a race. read more

I have somehow made it onto this company's marketing email list. "No problem," I say to myself. "I'll just follow the simple instructions to unsubscribe."

Though I've driven past Atlanta Motor Speedway several times, yesterday was my maiden voyage into the stands. As I entered to discover an abundance of FREE parking, I thought, "Wow, I already like this place more than Philips Arena, Turner Field, or the Georgia Dome." I walked through the ticketing area while drinking a bottle of water, expecting the personnel to ask me to throw it away, but no. No one cared that I brought in my own drink! In fact, I soon realized that Atlanta Motor Speedway allows race fans to bring their own beer & food, and it's okay to smoke too! I'm amazed by how liberal and fan-friendly Atlanta Motor Speedway is, because there is no way that Philips Arena, Turner Field, or the Georgia Dome would permit fans to bring in their own food & drinks or allow smoking. I attended a Friday Night Drags show, but these policies are no different during a NASCAR event. Tickets were general admission, and there really isn't a bad seat in the house. You can even leave your seat and stand against the gate for the entire night if your legs can handle hours of standing and if you're wearing earplugs and/or headphones, because THE COLLECTIVE ROAR OF THE ENGINES IS DEAFENING! The Friday Night Drags show featured straightaway racing amongst practically every vehicle that you'd want to see go head-to-head: sports cars, muscle cars, imports, trucks, motorcycles, dirt bikes, ATVs, and go-carts. Some of the races were exciting and close calls, whereas others were obvious mismatches. And though the crowd was more diverse than I expected, there were more than a handful of mullets in attendance. LOL Wow, I can't remember the last time I saw a mullet before this outing. When will people learn? Unless you've thrice saved the world and your code name is "Solid Snake," you should not be sporting a mullet! To be fair though, the full gamut of southern stereotypes was represented, including plenty of eye candy in the form of cute girls wearing cowboy boots and short shorts. :) I'm not a racing enthusiast, but my experience at Atlanta Motor Speedway was a refreshingly nice change of pace. The place and the people seem to evoke the nostalgic comfort of simpler, and perhaps happier, times. For example, there was an evangelist near the ticketing area whom carried a sign that read, "Jesus loves you," and he warmly smiled as he greeted everyone with messages such as, "You all have a good night." Now, let's juxtapose what I just described against what I saw when I last went to Philips Arena, which was a religious zealot holding a sign that read, "YOU WILL BURN IN HELL!" Yep, simpler and happier times. read more

Went to see the Christmas lights and for the $20 entrance fee, it was the worst Christmas light show I have ever visited. I was truly disappointed. There were large gaps between each light figure...too much dark space between each display. Too many areas had thin ribbons of light, nothing bold. No excitement..no wow factor...essentially a neighborhood light display. Keep your money and find a nice neighborhood with Christmas lights on display!! read more
