ABOUT US
Elk Creek Dragway has been a part of grassroots drag racing in Southwest Virginia since the 1960s. Built from the ground up by racers and local supporters, the track has always been about one thing: giving everyday racers a place to compete, improve, and belong. Through changing eras of cars, classes, and technology, Elk Creek has stayed true to its roots, raw racing, fair competition, and a tight-knit racing community that treats the track like home.
​
Elk Creek Dragway is proud to be the home of "THE ORIGINAL GEAR JAMMERS", "KILLER STREET", and "TRUSTICK". These classes weren’t copied from somewhere else, they were born here, shaped by local racers who wanted hard racing, driver involvement, and rules that made sense. Over the years, they’ve become staples of our identity and a big part of what makes racing at Elk Creek different.
​
We’re proud to be a place where:
-
First-timers line up next to seasoned racers
-
Juniors, bracket racers, stick-shift racers, and grudge cars all have a home
-
Families, friends, and fans feel welcome in the pits and the stands
​
Elk Creek isn’t just a track, it’s a community project. Every improvement you see, from surface work to fencing to infrastructure upgrades, is driven directly by racer support and reinvestment back into the facility. When you race here, you’re helping build the future of the track.
​
Our schedule features:
-
Bracket racing
-
Gear Jammers
-
Killer Street
-
Test & Tune nights
-
Unique specialty events you won’t find anywhere else
​
Whether you’re chasing points, chasing a personal best, or just here to watch good racing on a Saturday night, Elk Creek Dragway is about fair competition, good people, and keeping the sport grassroots.
