Leaders in Pulaski County have announced Shelor Motor Mile is giving the Motor Mile Speedway and Calfee Park to Pulaski County.

The legendary Motor Mile Speedway in Pulaski County is getting a new name.

Motor Mile Speedway is looking to do something positive for the community following a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas that left at least 21 people dead.

Motor Mile Speedway remembered Daniel Williamson and dedicated the “Ice Out Opener” at Motor Mile to his memory. Daniel’s three loved his family, hockey and racing. Daniel Williamson’s wife and sons were given the honor of shouting out those most famous words in motorsports: “drivers, start your engines.” Willamson’s sons also got to wave the green flag before the start of the races. Daniel lost his battle with Covid-19 in November of last year. He was only 35.
