Deep South gives racing green flag

With a new management team in place, Deep South Speedway is back open, after a brief closure, and is offering racing in eight classifications starting Saturday.

“Basically, what we want to do is put all of the rumors and all of the fears to rest in the racing community and bring racing back to a local level,” said Chuck Day of Performance Racing Group, the new leaseholder at Deep South. “We want to try to create the same old Saturday night racing atmosphere that they started with a couple of years ago.”

The four-tenths-mile track, which features a dirt surface with 23-degree banked turns, an 18-degree back stretch and 12-degree front stretch, was started in 1997 and opened in July 2004 by the Darby family
