Lanier Speedway

Lanier Speedway (formerly Caffeine and Octane Lanier Raceway and Lanier Raceplex and Lanier National Speedway) is a 0.375 mi (0.604 km) paved oval racetrack located just outside Braselton, Georgia. The track opened in 1982 as a dirt track, by Bud Lunsford and was paved in the mid-1980s. It was then owned by Donnie Clack, Jim Downing (invented the HANS device) and then in 2022, it was owned and operated by High Octane, LLC (Caffeine and Octane), an auto events & multimedia business conglomerate. It is now owned by Lanier Speedway LLC, which will keep and operate the track as part of a new Development with Commercial, Retail and Auto=Centric Theme. The Track will remain and be operated by Lanier Speedway LLC. The track was under the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series banner with super late models, SuperTrucks, Junkyard Dogs, outlaw late models, mini stocks, INEX RaceCeiver/zMax legends cars and INEX bandolero cars. The track ended weekly racing at the end of the 2011 season, but remained open for larger events. In 2022, High Octane resumed weekly car events at the raceway for the first time since 2011.
