Since opening 1958 as the Rambi Raceway dirt track, through its transition to pavement in 1974, to today, Myrtle Beach Speedway has not only been the scene of great weekly action, but a springboard for stock car racing royalty. Four generations of Pettys (Lee, Richard, Kyle and Adam), three generations of Earnhardts (Ralph, Dale, and Dale, Jr. and Kelly) cut their teeth at the South Carolina track where the list of winners includes the likes of Buck Baker, Dick Hutcherson, David Pearson and Ned Jarrett who earned his first victory in what is now known as the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup here in 1959.
The semi-banked half mile is the home of the annual Myrtle Beach 400 and IceBreaker 200 Late Model races and hosts weekly NASCAR Whelen All-American Series races as well as various classes including Late Model Charger, Super Trucks and Mini Stocks.
