Outer Banks Speedway

Visitors with a need for speed can hit the tracks in Creswell, just a couple miles west of Columbia, at the Outer Banks Speedway.

The all-concrete 1/8 mile track has a two lane, 50' ft. wide racing surface where local and visiting speed demons can put the pedal to the metal. The 62 acre facility can accommodate 600 race cars and over 10,000 spectators, (in addition to parking for 3,500 spectator vehicles). The track is IHRA sanctioned, and the Outer Banks Speedway is currently running Pro Mods, Pro Stocks, ET Brackets and more. Folks can swing by throughout the spring, summer and fall months to watch the speediest drag race cars, bikes, and stock cars in the region battle it out on the hard concrete surface and races are held approximately every month or so, generally from March until October. A complete schedule can be found online at the Outer Banks Speedway's website. www.raceobx.com

The Outer Banks Speedway is located at 426 Benson Road in Creswell and tickets can be purchased in advance by calling (252) 370-8892 or can be obtained at the track's entrance on race day. Gates typically open 2 hours before the race starts and races, depending on the number of participants can go on well into the night, providing hours of entertainment for die-hard gearheads. Many events are also "open" races, meaning that amateur bike and car racers can participate, typically for a small sign-up fee, allowing newcomers to start their racing careers with a splash on the Inner Banks' most prominent race track. For a wild night in a quiet town, bring your metal heads to the Outer Banks Speedway for a full experience of heart-pounding racing under the coastal skyline, and see why North Carolina has a history of being hailed the racing capital of the country.

After closely monitoring the forecast, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this weekend’s event Friday and Saturday due to the high chance of rain.

The safety of our racers, fans, and everyone traveling to OBX is our top priority. We never like making this decision, but we believe it’s the right one to prevent unnecessary travel and ensure everyone stays safe.

We want to sincerely thank all of our sponsors, racers, fans, and everyone who liked, shared, and helped promote this event. Your continued support means everything to us, and we truly appreciate this racing community.

We’ll be back soon, and we look forward to seeing everyone at the next event. Thank you for your understanding.
