About
What is EchoPark Speedway?
Hampton, Georgia, is home to one of the most iconic tracks in stock car racing and hosts two NASCAR race weekends each year. EchoPark Speedway has been in operation since 1960, and its 1.54 mile quad-oval track has long been known as one of the fastest in motorsports. EchoPark Speedway also hosts Monster Jam, car shows, the Georgia State Fair, local High School Graduations and hundreds of other events throughout the year.
EchoPark Speedway History
Ground was broken in 1958 for what was originally known as Atlanta International Raceway, opening on July 31, 1960, with Fireball Roberts winning the inaugural Dixie 300. From 1960 until 2011, the Speedway was home to two annual NASCAR events: the Atlanta 500 in the spring, and the Dixie 500 in the fall. In 1990, Speedway Motorsports Inc. bought the track, adding condominiums to the course in 1994 and almost completely rebuilding the track in 1997.
Some of the most iconic moments in NASCAR history have taken place at the Speedway. Before the advent of the Race to the Cup, EPS was often the last stop on what is now known as the NASCAR Cup circuit, leading to some incredible finishes to the season. The 1992 Hooters 500 featured Richard Petty's final NASCAR race, Jeff Gordon's NASCAR debut, and a legendary ending in which Bill Elliott won the race, but Alan Kulwicki won the Winston Cup title.

Atlanta race 2011
by Rainraingoaway on 9/8/11Atlanta Motor Speedway - HamptonRating: 1 out of 5Race was rained out and scheduled for a work day! Who has the money and time to go on a work day after already spending $20 to park and paying for gas and tickets? I know the rain was not controllable, but schedule it for a weekend when fans who have spent their hard earned money can actually go see and enjoy why they paid for!! Or at least offer money back to those who can't go!
Rain out
by Dodgehemi on 9/8/11Atlanta Motor Speedway - HamptonRating: 1 out of 5The racce was to run Sunday dew to mother nature it was but off till Tuesday most fans always plain in a extra day but in this cause the extra day was a Monday and it was a lost also I guest I lost my money onthe four tickets that I paired 59.00 dollars I think in the future madscar should have this race on Saturday night that way in case of a rain out you would have Sunday and a Monday and I think most fans would intertain that ideal better I heard a lot of bitter words on my way out of the track that Sunday night

Nascar Rained out and rescheduled
by Upset1000 on 9/8/11Atlanta Motor Speedway - HamptonRating: 1 out of 5Never saw race as it rained and was rescheduled to Tuesday. Had to work that day so spent $200 for tickets we could not use. Nascar should allow individuals to purchase insurance for instances like this.
AdvoCare 500 was great!!

We were rained out and three out of four of us could attend the rain date. Two other friends including a first time attendee had a blast. Cold, wet and yet a fun race.

Atlanta motor speed way
by PhilIpH43 on 9/8/11Atlanta Motor Speedway - HamptonRating: 4 out of 5It would have been great if they could have run earlier Sunday, but due to the rain we were unable to attend on Tuesday! Bring back the Spring race!!!!!!!!
Raceless event
by Shannonfae on 9/8/11Atlanta Motor Speedway - HamptonRating: 1 out of 5The race was rained out on Sunday. They rescheduled for Tuesday at 11 a.m. We'd traveled from out of town for the race and couldn't take more time off. There was not any mention of a way to recoup us.
Rain, Rain, Rain
by adm24 on 9/8/11Atlanta Motor Speedway - HamptonRating: 5 out of 5We enjoyed the concert but hated that we had to eat $120.00 due to not being able to return on Tuesday. I understand Nascar controls this but Atlanta Motor Speedway should give a Free tshirt or something to the coustomers for having to lose this money and having to wait patiently for the race to happen. I know we dont have control over the weather but come on do something for the fans please. We are the ones who make you all hte money in the first place
Unfortunate rain
by matthewchance on 9/8/11Atlanta Motor Speedway - HamptonRating: 1 out of 5Unfortunately after spending $300 on tickets and $500 on hotel rooms the rain had other plans. I enjoy the Atlanta race every year and due to the rain the race had to be rescheduled to Tuesday. With four of us there, we had to go back home Monday and were not able to go on Tuesday to the race. With this being a possibility at any race, a suggestion may be for future tickets to be at a discounted rate for those not able to stay for the postponed race. We ended up staying in the hotel room and playing cards. I would have to say that it was the most expensive card game I have ever played ($800 for tickets and hotel).
Too bad I missed it!
by Disappointed1222 on 9/8/11Atlanta Motor Speedway - HamptonRating: 1 out of 5It would nice if I could actually review the event, but the truth is that me nor the people that went with me were able to attend the re-scheduled race. My group and I planned for the Labor Day weekend event since last year when we thoroughly enjoyed the race. We were EXTREMELY disappointed that this year, we did not have the same experience. Instead, we wasted money on travel, hotel rooms, and tickets on an event that could have happened late Sunday. Little to no rain fell during the time that the race would have been started Sunday after 10:30pm. In fact, the weather seemed far worse on Tuesday yet the race still ran. Yes, I understand that weather is something that can not be controlled. However, I do feel as though the wrong choice was made as far as the re-scheduling. We are now stuck with tickets that we will not be reimbursed for and what was ultimately a wasted weekend. It will be very difficult to convince myself to plan on attending next year's Atlanta race
Rained Out
by StinksOutLoud on 9/8/11Atlanta Motor Speedway - HamptonRating: 1 out of 5I think it stunk that the Nascar race was rescheduled for 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday. Most people had to get back to work and their children back to school. I lost a lot of money and am hesitant to participate again.

Although the rain put somewhat of a damper on the Cup race, AMS is always a pretty good track and it was still a really exciting race. The decision to reschedule the race 2 days away was a great decision, rather than try to race the next day and have everyone show up the next day only to be rained out and postponed again. The only thing that was annoying was waiting 2 hours for the trucks to dry the track right as it started raining again, I think the drying should have began sooner than it did.
Rained all day and got rained out
by RaceDayRainOut on 9/8/11Atlanta Motor Speedway - HamptonRating: 2 out of 5Tailgate was fun. Got rained out and moved to Tues. so we couldn't stay. Was planning to camp, paid for a spot, but when the race was moved to Tues.we had to leave.

Why aren't we reimbursed at least something for a rained out event that was rescheduled for two days later! I understand it was a weather problem but AMS certainly made money that day for concessions etc
