Volunteer Speedway
14095 W. Andrew Johnson Hwy
Bulls Gap, TN 37711
423-235-5020
“The World’s Fastest Dirt Track” located in Bulls Gap, TN. Volunteer Speedway prides itself in offering the fans an entertaining evening of exciting, affordable ($7 adult grandstand admission), competitive (six divisions) racing action every Saturday from March through October in a picturesque setting. Providing a "fan-friendly" facility is a tremendous asset, while a need of ample seating and plenty of parking (shuttle bus to transport fans from the lower parking lot to the top of the hill and the main ticket booth) is a must. First impressions are imbedded in people's minds, and the overall aesthetics (cleanliness of the grounds, with fresh painted buildings) of the complex is what will entice the fans to return. Clean restrooms, that in itself says it all. VIP areas with sponsor amenities to help enhance the marketability of the facility. When it comes time to eat, an outstanding concession featuring many items will satisfy even the heartiest of appetites (you can't beat the world-famous homemade chili that is on the hotdogs and nachos with chili and cheese). The primary objective to the drivers is to provide them a competitive weekly purse structure, while offering an excellent season-ending point fund bonus payout. The track racing surface, groomed to offer the drivers (racin' ... not chasin' in single file) multi-grooves to maneuver their high-powered machines around the high banks, can be found every week at "The Gap."
