CROSSVILLE DRAGWAY CLOSING?

Following a bit of uneasiness surrounding the closure of Crossville Dragway at the conclusion of the 2019 race season (the host venue of the annual ODSS Rocky Top Diesel Shootout), a five-year lease has been signed and the new lessee is committed to providing the best eighth-mile drag racing in the state of Tennessee. With so many small drag strips throughout the country facing closure due to low turnouts, area businesses and especially RLC Motorsports, is pleading with race fans both near and far to support the track throughout the year (not simply on special event weekends) to help keep it open for the long term.
