VISIT ATLANTA

EchoPark Speedway is only the starting point of your trip. Located around 30 miles south of downtown Atlanta, the speedway gives you easy access to one of the South’s most vibrant cities. Whether you’re interested in culture, classic Southern food, outdoor activities, or simply filling time between race sessions, Atlanta has plenty to offer.

Downtown Atlanta is full of attractions that appeal to both race fans and families. Sports enthusiasts can explore the College Football Hall of Fame, while the World of Coca-Cola showcases one of the city’s most famous global brands. Nearby, the Georgia Aquarium–one of the largest aquariums in the world–is a popular stop, especially for families or those looking to escape the heat. Just steps away, Centennial Olympic Park offers a relaxed space to unwind between sightseeing stops.

Atlanta is also well known for its food scene. From traditional barbecue to classic soul food, the city delivers authentic Southern flavours. Longstanding favourites like The Varsity sit alongside popular spots such as Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q and Busy Bee Café, giving visitors plenty of dining options to choose from.

Baseball fans may want to catch the Atlanta Braves in action at Truist Park. The surrounding Battery district features restaurants, bars, and shops, making it an ideal evening destination if you’re staying beyond race day.

Closer to the speedway, Hampton and Henry County provide a quieter alternative to the city. Visitors can book behind-the-scenes tours of EchoPark Speedway on non-race days, browse stores at the Tanger Outlets, or visit local attractions such as Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary. For a more rural experience, Southern Belle Farm offers seasonal fruit picking, fresh-baked treats, and open countryside views.

Whether you base yourself near the track or explore the city, the Atlanta area gives NASCAR fans a strong mix of racing action and Southern hospitality. Arrive early if you can, pace yourself, and take time to enjoy what the region has to offer beyond the checkered flag.
