Skyline Speedway Motorsports

By Jaxyn Boyce

Located on 2338 Stafford Road, in Virgil, this park sits on top of the mountains. With a track the length of 3/8’s of a mile and in the shape of an oval, it is sure to provide family fun for all those who experience it. Annually, there are around ten thousand people that visit. With events and local performers, it attracts a wide variety of people. Every Friday night there is a race show under the lights, where popular racers speed to the finish line. After every Friday the results get posted with an archive to review old races. Currently, there is a point standing list divided into separate divisions. There are also race classes. In addition, the owner has listed a schedule for those who want to continue the fun. General admission is fourteen dollars, and seniors and veterans receive a discount of ten dollars. Then, kids five and under are free, and older kids’ admission is six dollars. These prices are for the Grandstand, but you can purchase tickets for the pit as well. For adults, it is listed as thirty-five dollars, and for children, admission is twenty dollars.

There are season passes available upon request as well. Recently, a local country singer came and performed bringing in a much wider audience. Skyline Speedway also has a concession stand with refreshments on those hot days. Since this park is located further away from town parental supervision isn’t necessary, but can be accommodated if needed. This track is under new ownership, Brad Smith, and has recently been upgraded. New renovations include a timing and scoring system.
