I watched your dad come through the ranks for years man. I got introduced through the Manns family at Rock Barn but it’s awesome to see you doing what you do man

Thanks for this Landon! I hate seeing the demise of these historic speedways. Just shows the importance of supporting out local tracks. Glad I was able to see a LM race at MB Speedway in the early 90's. Great job on the video.

Thanks for sharing dude. I know exactly how you feel. We lost our local track in 1987. It was called Catamount Stadium in Milton, Vt. We all grew up there every Saturday night watching all the boys going at it. It's now a industrial park but, you can still see where the track was. Catamount was the best and, always will be in my mind

I remember the race that Elton Sawyer won at Myrtle Beach several years ago. Was an Elton Sawyer fan and was so glad when he finally broke through. So sad to see the end of an era. The same thing happened to New Asheville Speedway in Asheville, but thankfully not as devastating due to the fact that they built a nice park there down by the river that at least gives recognition to the history of the racing there. It's hard to be philosophical as you see this happen, but right, wrong or indifferent, time moves on and change is inevitable. Enjoy your coverage. Thanks

I saw Earnhardt Jr racing there in the early 90's and wasn't even aware he was racing yet...lol It was a great track, it's a shame what they did to it!

I may be misremembering this, but I think my first racing game NASCAR Racing 2 on the PC had Myrtle Beach Speedway on it. RIP to another great track.

Thank you for the tour of Myrtle beach speedway. Like you said it’s devastating to see tracks go away. In 2004 we raced are local track, bought tires for the following week from the track only to find out on Wednesday of that week the track was closed. It had a long time history with big name drivers that had raced there and was my family’s life for many years. It just recently became a storage lot now after all these years but housing development complaints of noise was really what put it under. We went south about a hour to race St Augustine speedway only to have it close a couple of years later and still sits as it was closed. Long rant but it’s sad to see. Thank again

Thanks for sharing Landon, I watch your videos every week. I grew up going to the races on the river at Asheville and at Pickens with my late father. God bless him for that. Time is the enemy! I passed through hickory last week and thought about how cool it would be to be able to stop by and have a cold one with you. Keep up the hard work!

So many great memories of visiting "The Beach" when we were in town for vacation. Still hurts, thinking about how it is now. Thanks for sharing this video.

I remember watching JR race there, during when I was there for spring break..Still have the original lineup sheets...

The coarse asphalt of SC. I worked a few BGN races at Darlington..the old saying is you lose 5 laps off your tires just pushing the car to the grid lol Being a midwesterner, it was nice seeing MB before its totally gone. TY for taking us along.

It was a special place many memories dating back to the late 60s . A lot of cup drivers would show up on Saturday night before the race at Darlington.

I visited back in August of last year and they still had the pavement and light towers down. It's sad to see this track go. This is definitely one of the biggest loses in the short track racing community. I would die to have the opportunity to race there. May she rest easy

Unfortunately the local dirt track I raced at and grew up going to suffered a similar fate. I am from Northern Michigan and a family from the city moved close to the track and thought it was too loud on Friday nights. The day the track went up for sale, they offered triple the value for the property. Almost 10 years later and it still just sits there. They only took down the grandstands. The track is still there, clay and all

We lost a track in AL called BIR it was the second oldest track in America and now it’s the same shape as Myrtle only it was destroyed back in 09 sadly… me and my pops got to go to the last show so that’s pretty cool. Love the channel man.

This kinda stuff is so interesting to me. Don't miss an episode of lost speewdways. For us up north its more drag strips than speedways. We did have Mansfield Speedway and they did a kickass job on it when the revamped it back in the early 2000's. Hell the truck series was there for 4 years and now it's shares the same fate as Myrtle Beach. I'm not sure if your dad drove there in 05 or not. Thanks for sharing!

One of my dad's friends was the last general manager there at the track, Bill Hennecy. Bill ran quite a few Dash races in the 80's and early 90's and is still running Spec Miata in SCCA. He was interviewed on the episode of Lost Speedways about MB Speedway. Spent a lot of Saturday nights there as a kid in the late 70's and early 80's. Sad to see it gone.

I don't know why but every time drive passed this track I shed a tear

It's sad we lost Myrtle Beach Speedway and it just sits empty I went to many Busch Series races there I remember Dale Jr's Ac-Delco #3 racing there to win that piece of history would be awesome addition to my collection can't wait for your video this week from Hickory Good luck brother drive it in hard and give em hell brother.

I grew up in Charleston SC in a racing family. My hometown track was Summerville speedway. Ran super stocks, late models and late model stocks there with my brother. The track was torn down and there are now town homes where it once stood. I started going to Myrtle Beach speedway after as part of Robert Powells crew. Side note his father owned Summerville and Florence speedway which is the only track left from my roots. I fell in love with MB and I was completely heartbroken when I found our that it was to be torn down! We are loosing so much history and fabric of our racing lives seeing these places dissappear.

Thanks for another look at the old track. I hate seeing the old tracks fall to whatever the hell is happening. This has been going on for many years but it still hurts to see it. I have a track about 2 miles from my house that closed in the late 60s and a lot of it is still there. Dale Jr did a look at it on his show as well. It's in Augusta, GA. I hope to see you again in Hickory this weekend.

Thats a sad sight to see. We used to go there MB400 weekend and run a mini stock years ago. I know how abrasive the track is because then mini stocks ran the racetrack recaps and they would fly apart and tear the fenders and crush panels up. Was always a great time and racecars and trucks were pitted inside and outside the track. Lots of good memories at Myrtle Beach Speedway. Thanks for the video.

How fitting you chose that piece of asphalt because if you look at it, it closely resembles the shape of South Carolina on a map. Pretty cool !

I remember watching the Busch Series races there on TNN in the late 90s.

Nice video, thanks for sharing. For someone like myself, those clips that you dropped in were very helpful to get a better visual of what it once was. Thanks again.

Very sad! I remember going there with my mom and dad growing up. Been there to watch all kinds of racing. Watched your dad there plenty of times even got his hero cards. Liked getting those free samples of White House apple juice and apple sauce. I even was on a late models stock pit crew there back in 06 for the 400. Last time I went was in 2010 for the 400. Lost a camera and money that day. Watched plenty of Nascar stars there. Met Jeff Gordon his first year in what was the Busch series back then. I'm from Summerville which Summerville speedway was my home track. Miss that place as well. Thinks for the video of Myrtle Beach Speedway. It is missed by Ton's of racers and fans.

My dad used to run street stocks at Myrtle beach it was less than 15 minutes from the house. Most of my childhood weekends were spent inside those walls and I never got the chance to run pops Monte Carlo out there. What a shame.

When I was a little fellow I saw The Flintstone Flyer lap the whole field. No body could touch him. I saw Robert Powell race in a Buch race with Rob Moroso sad he got killed. I worked at Regency Pontiac Olds and GMC they had an All Pro car Bobby Hamilton drove in one race there. I seen it dirt and asphalt... I have many memories. Oh my dad flagged a few races when Charlie Powell had Myrtle Beach at one time. Never had the opportunity to race there. But I'm good with the memories.

Sad to see myrtle beach speedway demise . I worked as a fire guard back in the 70 while stationed in USAF at MB Afb. I met many of the NASCAR drivers who would come down from Darlington when they were running a NASCAR RACE at Darlington . Some moments I remember is when Darrell Waltrip came to the track and was being introduced to the drivers. This was before he was racing in the Grand National. Great racers Sam summers,Harold Fountain,Sam Ard, Howard Goodson,Butch Linldley,L.D. Ottinger late model drivers. NASCAR Bobby Allison, Cale Yarborough,David Pearson , Richard Petty . I am originally from Valdese N. C. and grew up going to Hickory and Tri- county.love your videos

Had the same thing happen to Cleveland speedway in Cleveland TN. Raced there for over 20 years now it's gone. Just a grass lot now. Sad to see racing history gone!!

It’s always heartbreaking to see any tracks close like that my home track closed about 20 years ago and I still talk about it weekly at least to people

Too many racetracks experience the same fate that this track has. It’s a shame. I’ve been a racing fan all of my life and every time I see a video like this it hurts my heart. Good job on the mini doc

Myrtle Beach Speedway was the last track I officially worked with NASCAR Touring in the Whelen Modified Tour as an official before I moved up to the National series with the company. For a guy from Conneticut, The place will always have a special place in my heart for sure. Sad to see it

Great content! Hopefully short track racing keeps becoming bigger and bigger to keep these tracks alive, we often feel our local track is a ticking time bomb

Thanks for the tour. I took my car(72 cuda) around that track a few years ago while attending a car show

Lived in MB in 84-85 went to the track I would say 20 times over them 2 years . I really enjoyed the racing 🏁, so when I moved back home friends and I put a pure stock together and raced at The Fayetteville track for 3 years. So the MB speedway gave me the idea. I also went there 07 when I was there on vacation. Hate to see like that. Great video. Would love to have that Asphalt 🏁

yeah landon i used to deliver tires to murtle beach speedway my old boss bob lutz bought the track which he owned nascar driving experience in concord , so they ran a driving experience at myrtle beach speedway, so now i still work with robbie hollifield at hickory , i always looked forward to going there if i vacationed there, i pit crewed at myrtle for johnny davis when his son kertus ran hooters pro cup.

Yes it's sad to see these historic tracks be sold off. The Oglethorpe speedway in Pooler Ga has met the same demise.Sold to make way for a Amazon distribution center.

My dad and I always like going by while on vacation and watching a local Saturday night at myrtle beach speedway!! Miss it a lot hate to see she’s gone!!

I was there for the first race. Dink Windenhouse was the first to wreck, even before the first race. He rolled from the entrance to turn 3 to the middle of the turn. He rolled it 13 times on the track all by himself.

This is the track I got started on back in 1992-1993, That is when Dale Jr. started out in late model in the sun drop car, Ron Barfield raced there. I had a lot of fun at that track

Thanks for sharing, it’s too bad so many tracks are gone or barely hanging on. Some of the best short tracks here in Wisconsin are gone or near the end too.

Landon, I'd feel one of the more Major Nevers we'd get is Tony Stewart getting Myrtle Beach, as I doubt the teardown was for Nothing, as I'd wanted a Myrtle Beach-South Boston Track Double Again.

I absolutely love your videos and look forward to watching them on a weekly basis I've never been to Myrtle Beach speedway but here in upstate New York we have our local track and could not imagine not having it here thank you again for taking the time to make and share your experiences

Wow!!..Thanks for the video..Late 80's to the mid 90's saw all the Bush races..Saw Hooters Pro Cup and several of the big Late Model races in November..Saw Dale Jr. drive a Late Model there in the early 90's..What a shame its all gone..

Such a shame raced many laps on iracing at this speedway never had a chance to visit I’m from Canada and a lot of our short tracks are starting to fall into this same fate my parents owned a speedway up here for a long time and it still stands today and I’m hoping that it stays afloat! Big fan of yours hope to make it out to hickory one of these days to catch some action keep doing what you do you’re a great shoe!

Sad video, but needed. The same thing happened to my old local dirt track, Atomic Speedway just outside of Knoxville, TN. One of the fastest, well prepared dirt tracks in the nation. But for the greed of one man.

I was a part of a hooters pro cup team that ran there in the late 90s. We lost Lanier and Gresham in GA. It is heartbreaking to see how these short tracks are fading away.

Sad to see all these tracks going. I used to race at Summerville Speedway. Thats gone now. A subdivision now.

It's a shame development overcame the track. I started going to the track back in the early 70s and if I remember correctly wasn't it asphalt then dirt then back to asphalt? I remember seeing guys like Butch Lindley run LMS there and I also remember hearing the cars running there while I was shopping at Tanger across the street. There's nothing like hearing a late model race car turn laps from a distance, it always gave me chills.

I used to live in CAROLINA FOREST..everg Sat, night you would hear them race..late 1990s. The winston cup sign..I remember!😮

Another amazing short track gone. I used to live in Myrtle Beach, and went there frequently. I live in Greenville, SC. Our short track, Greenville Pickens, was recently bought by land developers with plans to put condos in its place. What a shame..

Just like my home track, Myrtle Beach fell to land development. It sucks but it's what people today call "progress". I plan on grabbing some pieces of my local track (Beech Ridge) if you'd like one.

I ran there back in 1999 in the goody’s dash series. I was the only one that “DNQ” that race due to a locked up rear shock in qualifying. The last place guy beat me in into the field because he knew the track owner and was allowed to start in a car without any prior racing experience. Still pisses me off today

The content just keeps getting better! What a shame to see that place like that. Hate I never got to see a race there in person! Thanks for sharing man!

Thanks for this video. I remember going there a couple times as a kid, pre-Busch series, and seeing Harry Gant, Morgan Shepherd, and my friend and hero, Sam Sommers, race there. Shame to lose it. It was definitely a piece of history!!!

The one and only time I went to Myrtle Beach was that final race in 2020. Made the show with Rev Racing after the rain came and went. I think we finished 14th. Insane so see what it is now. Fortunate to have witnessed it still in operation.

Man this is so sad,I have been to this track many times,Great racing and very fast.Thanks for the Video it is fantastic.Lot of Memories.Wayne from Canada

I was deeply saddened when I heard the speedway was closed and razed. Myrtle Beach speedway was one of the best known tracks in the area, well maintained, with great racing heritage. I raced at the Summerville Speedway in 94 .. a track which was also closed and razed to the ground.

Well this is similar to what happened to the Moody Mile at Syracuse. From what I noticed a couple years ago. The only thing, that was torn down was the grandstands. I believe the track is essentially still there, other than the grandstands.

Thanks for the awesome content. Sad to see any track like this. Sadly, we only have a single short track in Georgia that is still Asphalt (Cordale Georgia). Gotta support these joints. They’re not really being built anymore.

It is always a shame when racetracks have this fate. Rockingham, my local track, was close to this fate after the final truck race in 2013. I hope everyone supports their local tracks. You never know when it may hold its last race.

I'm only 16 and me and my family would go to the beach at least 1 time every 2 years and my dad would always go to the track, I didn't always go I would stay in the hotel with my mom and go to the pool man if I could go back in time I would tell myself to go to the track everytime we went to the beach. Went for the last time back in march of 2019 and I loved it we sat in the suites it was a good time I wish this track didn't close down. But as an iRacer I'm glad to say this is my favorite/best short track on the sim!

Sad to see another one go, we had the thunderdome here in australia, its still there but hasn't been used in 20 years..

Thanks for the opportunity. It's sad how racing history is disappearing. Thanks for doing this video!

Landon: others have posted this already. I saw your dad too at MBS. I think it was the 1998 Goody's Dash race. I liked the White House Apple Juice car. Sad MBS closed. Beach and racing compliment each other. The weekly racing can be more exciting than watching racing on TV. It was straight shot to the beach; maybe only 5 miles away from it.

Won the 400 with Jamey Caudill in 2008 and Myatt Snider in 2015. Hate to see it go. A lot of good memories!

I remember back in the 80's there was nothing out there except the racetrack and maybe a gas station. The city grew out to the track making the land valuable.

Very sad what happened to Myrtle Beach! I remember growing up there when my dad was racing. That track will be missed!

We lost Birmingham International Raceway/ BIR. Very sad to see it go for development. Ended up being just a grass field.

Awesome video man. Had some family come watch a ton of races up there back in the day. So sad to see it now

Heart breaking . My uncle is Sam Sommers " lost speedways". He was the man at myrtle beach.

Ashamed to see another historical track go away. Thanks for doing this video so we can see what’s left.

I have to agree was one of the best tracks especially with the tire conservation. Thanks for sharing and as always keep up the great work with the videos.

Thank you for documenting the remnants of the track. A piece of history soon to be lost. Nice work, much appreciated.

Sad deal. I remember when we lost Asheville Motor Speedway in 1999.

Conflicting emotions: beautiful and sad video. Thank you for showing us these stories. Great Landon!

It’s the same with NHRA drag racing tracks. Popular tracks like Atlanta Dragway, Englishtown in NJ, Houston Raceway Park, Bandimere in Colorado, National Trail in Columbus , Ohio, Memphis Dragway, Heartland Motorsports Park in Topeka, Ks, just to name a few. Because of NHRA’s poor management resulting in increased lack of interest in the sport, it’s more profitable to sell to investors that build housing, retail properties and commercial real estate. Anyone who has watched stock cars or drag racing over the years knows that these sports were built on the shoulders of the common man with common interests who would race at the drop of a hat for FREE! Now they show drag racing on tv, for example, the top contenders with the most money invested, this being the nitro fuel cars and pro stock cars and bikes ONLY! We all know those classes are just a small part of a race event, the majority being stock, super stock and comp eliminator with many more race vehicles. The ‘little man’ who actually started the business has been pushed to the side because of SIMPLE GREED of the corporate world, and this is what’s left. Closed race tracks resulting in miles of housing, retail spaces or empty fields. It was nice while it lasted. Thanks for the memories…

We raced there back in the day…I been down here all week for bike week..wore your shirt my first day here and a guy was asking me tons of questions lol..but you got noticed at the bike rally

Back in 2014 I went to Myrtle Beach for Vacation and passed by the track. I should have caught a race while I was there. Sad to see the track gone.

I got to see many races at MBS over the years and drove the "racing experience" there four years ago. I made the same walk last year that you have made this video from. It feels like WE have lost an old friend......sad!!

Would love to snag that piece of asphalt! Maybe the development plans will never happen and they will turn it back into a dirt track. Gotta get jr on board to possibly purchase the track, but it might be too far gone now.

Awesome video again Landon! Wish I could've seen it in person after racing it so much in iracing, I gotta take a trip out there now before the wall is gone!

Drove on this track as a part of a NASCAR driving experience back in the early 2000s when we were on vacation there. Shame this happened to the track.

Hate to see that to historic racetracks I know that here in Louisville when torn down Louisville MotorSpeedway and the dirt track we had in Bardstown Ky that it took away those Saturday night races that looked forward to every racing season.

I remember going raceing there whith friend/neighbor when he race late model on asphalt. Just wondering if Summerville Speedway Still Standing SC. Me friend me got talk about some of dirt tracks like Thunder Valley in Shelby Taylorsville Speedway Mooresville Dragway just down road.

It sucks reminds me of what they did to one of our home tracks Lakeland speedway in Lakeland fl I drive by there now and it’s a cold storage for a trucking company

Don't forget this place is very historic for monster trucks also. The famous king Kong flipping over and landing on top of 2 cop cars 1990

Man there is so much history involved with that track. It was a great track will miss it

Another sad time in the history of motor racing. We lost are track up here in New England Canaan Motorsports Speedway.

Great job. Thanks Landon. Hope you grabbed some asphate for Dale Jr.

I raced there and went to the last race also I sure miss racing there I now race a Florence but I wish Myrtle Beach Speedway was still there had lots of fun there

I would love the Asphalt I've heard so many stories

Sad to see. Everyone definitely needs to go to their local track and support. We cant keep letting this happen. I grew up in Miami with Hialeah Speedway and the same thing happened. Definitely interested in that piece of asphalt. 👍

Hey Landon, it seemed a shame to tear down the track if the owner had no firm buyer for the land, I doubt he was losing any $ on weekly races. Now he's stuck paying taxes on the land till he sells it, one reason he had every thing torn down to save for paying for structures on the tax bill till until he sold it but he's still paying taxes regardless & the track isn't making him anything now.

I got see one race there in 2016 I was shocked by how many street stocks showed up was a nice track

Love the video. I attended my first myrtle beach weekly event back in July of 2004.

As an Australian I’d never get a chance to go to murtle beach or what’s left, I jumped onto apple maps on my phone and put it in satellite view and I haven’t updated it for so long that it shows the track still there. Unfortunately I could see all of the new housing developments right next door that led to the tracks demise too 😔

I always wanted to go to Myrtle Beach Speedway! Unfortunately I never made it before it was torn out. I loved this track and the racing it provided, and was crushed when I heard it was going to be destroyed.
