Volusia Speedway Park, Race track
Volusia Speedway Park is an auto racing facility near Barberville in Volusia County, Florida, with a 1/2-mile dirt oval and a 1/5-mile dirt karting oval known as Volusia Karting. The two ovals sit side by side on open pale ground among dark trees, the smaller kart track beside the longer, wider main track, with a straight road running to its right.
Benny Corbin built the track and opened it in 1968 as a quarter-mile dirt oval. It was enlarged to three-eighths of a mile in August 1969 and to half a mile in February 1972. Dick Murphy bought it in 1982, paved it in 1989, sold it in 1992 and repurchased it in 1997, converting it back to dirt. DIRT Motorsports bought the facility in 2005.
The two dirt ovals sit side by side near Barberville, the 1/2-mile main track beside the 1/5-mile Volusia Karting oval, with a straight road running past the larger one. The DIRTcar Nationals run over three weeks from late January into February, so plan around that block of racing.
