THE ENVIROMENT

“The noise is going to echo to the point where the sound doesn’t just resonate through your ears. You feel it in your feet.”

According to Patrick Robb, Promoter, it’s hard to accurately depict what a race is like just through an article or video. It’s something you’ve got to feel! The powerful revving of racecar engines. Dirt and mud flinging into the lower seats by passing cars. The roar of the crowd when their favorite driver crosses the finishing line. Lonestar Speedway literally shakes with excitement!

“You got the whole family in, and they can watch LIVE racing.”

Though the Lonestar Speedway is an action-packed scene, it is also a family-friendly one. Hundreds of families and friends pack the stands each season to experience live entertainment. With plenty of seating, a great snack bar, and clean facilities, you and your family are set up for a fast and furious evening at the track! Your kids won’t even think twice about picking up the iPad.
