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.
This was our first Nascar race and we had a really great time. we probably would not have gone had it not been for the $1.00 tickets, Way better than watching on tv. Hope to go to another one soon.
Had a great time, lots to do before the race!!!!!! Would have to say i like it a lot better than the night race, a lot more action on the track. Was very disappointed with Kurt Busch's burnout, other than that was great
Nascar in Atlanta is always a great time. I suggest camping and experiencing the whole weekend
Excellent time to be had by all...Highly recommend to anyone
We had a good time...we sat in the Earnhardt grandstands for the first time and I think I prefer Champions grandstand much better. Champions granstand has the jumbotron TV that you can see the replays on. Would have been better if we had headsets. Overall, good experience...except for the traffic...hate that part!
Great show, Great organizacion Lots of energy Family oriented program A few drunks at the end, but it is ok
Man that race was just like I had rembered it to be. Alot of of action, different lead changes, a few crashes(which thank God no one was hurt),Fast cars,etc. Cant wait untill I get another chance to get to go to one.
i love racing.but they need any big t v screen on the n feild at 4 turn
I bought the tickets 5 days before the event and was able to get 3rd row. You can bring your own food and drinks in, so we did. Needed some sunscreen, but a good people watching experience and my first NASCAR race. I'm still washing the grit from the track from my hair.
It was unbelievable crowded but a good time was had by all!
This was the second time I went to the AMS. I loved the race! I can't wait till September's night race!!
I had a great time real good race AMS puts on a good show!!!
This was a great race! We had great seats and got a good deal on them! Lots of freebies and food was not that bad on price. Two of us for $18.00 ate lunch. We will be going more and get our tickets from ticketmaster!
It was exciting with the wrecks. I am sure a lot of the teams and fans were cursing Goodyear with all the tire problems. I hope Goodyear will learn how to build a tire.
Getting there was a breeze, parking was free (and easy). Plenty of room to tailgate. Was able to bring a 14in soft sided cooler into the stands. Sat in the Elliot section which I really liked. Seeing the cars come into turn 3 at 195/200mph is crazy. Competitive racing all around. What I don't like is all the inconsiderate smokers who feel obliged to light up right in the crowd. There should be a no smoking policy in the grandstands.
Seats were terrible. I will buy more expensive tickets for the labor day race
Great race and great experience using Ticketmaster for the tickets... Would definitely use them again in the future!!!
My boyfriend bought us the tickets and he's been to several races before. We had a great time and now I can truly say that it's more fun to watch in person than on TV. No zoon on my attached picture. Row 12 in Winners 169 section. The only thing I recommend is buying an extra seat if you like plenty of room or are a bigger person because we were very tight until a few people started leaving.
we had an awesome time! a fabulous weekend and beautiful weather
The race was awesome!!! The print your ticket method was vary smooth and we didnt have any problems , Will for sure use this site again next year when I attend again.
