Harold Brasington, who built nearby Darlington Raceway, teamed with Bill Land to build the facility under the guidance of IHRA founder Larry Carrier.

The track attracted such names as “Big Daddy” Don Garlits, the “Bounty Hunter” Connie Kalitta and the “King of Speed” Kenny Bernstein for its first race. Through the years, several other champions have made their passes down the iconic South Carolina drag strip, which has drawn some of the largest crowds anywhere for Sportsman racing.

Under the ownership of Russell Miller and the guidance of general manager Jimmy Bradshaw, the dragway has seen a complete remodel over the past year, adding to its claim as one of the top drag racing venues in the country.
