Our Track

Where the question got asked. Where the answer starts.

November 19, 2022·No. 170 · South Carolina 400

The No. 170 Dodge Charger SRT Super Late Model — Direct Connection paint, Lee Faulk Racing build — came to Florence for the South Carolina 400. Across the weekend, the program combined for more than ten million online impressions.

We came to ask one question: is there a real market for a Hemi at the grassroots level? The answer was loud. The answer was clear. The answer was: yes, build it.

May 9, 2026·No. 25 · Mother's Day at the Track

Three and a half years later, the No. 25 returns. Limited Late Model class. Fifty laps. Mother's Day at the track. First chassis benchmark for the Project Never Lift program.

Same track. Different car. Same answer being built.

02 — Who's come through

Names that elevate the ground.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. began his Late Model career here. Cale Yarborough is Timmonsville's signature racing figure. Josh Berry, Connor Hall, Doug Barnes Jr., and Carson Kvapil are recurring names in the Late Model marquee field. Keelan Harvick won the 2026 IceBreaker at age 13 — the track produces winners young and keeps producing them.
