“We’re always ready to step up in a time of need, so as Ian has developed, we’ve been in contact with local emergency management officials to determine how we can help,” Brandon Hutchison, speedway executive vice president said in a news release.

“Our facility is equipped to host a large number of people fleeing the storm, so opening our doors to evacuees is an easy decision to make. That said, we encourage anyone who chooses to stay with us to continue to monitor the storm’s movement and have a plan ready should Ian’s path shift towards the speedway.”

Anyone interested in dry camping in the First Turn Campground should enter the facility at Entrance "L." This entrance can be accessed from Speedway Boulevard as people approach from Georgia Highway 19/41 or Interstate 75 and GA Highway 20.

The Club One camping area is located behind the Johnson grandstands outside of the race track.

Call (770) 946-4211 to reserve a space at Club One.
