Constructed in 1948, historic Anderson Speedway is celebrating its 61st consecutive year of racing in 2008. Situated on over 35 acres near downtown Anderson, the Speedway presents some of the most exciting racing action you will find anywhere.

The quarter mile, asphalt track features 17 degree banking in the corners, which creates speeds unique to most short tracks. A record 10.414 second lap was run by Geoff Kaiser in 2006 in a winged sprint car. Drivers have said of driving at the Speedway, “It’s like flying a jet airplane in a gymnasium.”

The Speedway boasts 10,000 seats situated 360 degrees around the track, which insures a good view from any location. VIP luxury suites in turn one provide a great view and venue for corporate outings and parties.

Anderson Speedway is nationally recognized for the annual Pay Less Little 500 each Memorial Day weekend. 33 sprint cars start in 11 colorful rows of three in this annual 500-lap test of man and machine the night before the Indianapolis 500. The Little 500 trophy is a prize cherished by race drivers worldwide.

In addition to the weekly divisions of Super Trucks, Street Stocks, Figure 8’s, Legends and stock cars, Anderson Speedway plays host to several national sanctioning bodies.  In 1998, Anderson Speedway was awarded the USAC “Promoter of the Year Award” and in 1999 received the “National Speed Sport News Short Track Event of the Year Award” for the Pay Less Little 500.

Anderson Speedway prides itself in providing good, wholesome family entertainment at a reasonable cost. Fans of all ages fill the track at each event.

Racing runs from April to October each Saturday night and each Friday night from May through August.
