Macon Speedway

Figure-8 races were also held at Macon Speedway, which accounted for the track's unique triangle-shaped judges' stand.

With its UMP affiliation, Macon was the site of a significant share of big purse races.

Drivers including Gary Webb, Scott Bloomquist, Ken Schrader and Billy Moyer and Jim Leka have won big-purse races hosted by the Macon Speedway.

The move was in part to join in on the extremely vast amount of money that RJ Reynolds was putting into all of motorsports at that time.

Macon would continue their partnership with NASCAR's Winston Racing Series, and a year later, Macon's top class, Late Models, was dropped, forcing many of the area's (and some of the nation's) top drivers to search for an alternate venue.

Macon Speedway closed its 2006 season early, due to high operating expenses insufficiently offset by box office returns, advertising and other revenue.

Some noticeable were incorporated into Macon Speedway's infrastructure, including new catch-fencing, repairing grandstands, the addition of new billboards along the backstretch, and the acquisition of 12 acres (49,000 m2) of adjacent farmland that was converted into a larger pit area for the racers.

In 2007, Macon Speedway was host to Speed TV's show "Night of NASCAR Stars."
