Speedway Motorsports Triumphs with Best Places to Work Honor

For the second year running, Speedway Motorsports has proudly been named a Silver Medalist in the Sports Business Journal's esteemed list of Best Places to Work in Sports for 2025. This recognition is a testament to the company's unwavering commitment to its employees, creating an environment where passion for motorsports meets a thriving workplace culture.

The accolade was revealed amidst a competitive landscape where over 9,000 employees from 98 organizations participated in an anonymous satisfaction survey, facilitated by Quantum Workplace based in Omaha, Nebraska.

What Makes Speedway Motorsports Stand Out?

The survey evaluated more than 40 critical dimensions of corporate culture, focusing on vital areas such as employee trust in leadership, communication efficiency, and the perks offered to the staff. Marcus Smith, the President and CEO of Speedway Motorsports, emphasized that fostering memorable experiences for fans and investing in the well-being of employees are central to the company’s mission. “It’s our people who make the difference. We want Speedway Motorsports to be a place where guests feel welcomed and inspired, and where our teammates have the opportunity to excel,” he stated.

The company operates out of Charlotte, N.C., and was recognized among 67 finalists as one of the best workplaces, particularly shining in the Owner/Operator category for companies with 50 or more employees. This honor not only reflects the hard work and dedication of the team but reinforces Speedway Motorsports' goal of enhancing community engagement and ensuring employee satisfaction.

With a workforce of over 700 employees, Speedway Motorsports oversees 11 popular motorsport facilities alongside its various subsidiaries that include SMI Properties for merchandise, U.S. Legend Cars International focusing on racecar manufacturing, and the Performance Racing Network responsible for nationwide radio broadcasts.

A Bright Future Ahead

The positive morale within the organization is palpable as Speedway Motorsports aims to sustain its reputation as a leading promoter of motorsports entertainment in the United States. The company's holistic approach to employee satisfaction and community impact serves as a model for other organizations striving for similar accolades.

In an industry that thrives on exciting entertainment and exhilarating experiences, the corporate foundation built on strong employee relations ensures that Speedway Motorsports not only excels in the realm of motorsports but also cultivates a workplace where individuals feel empowered and valued.

With this recognition from the Sports Business Journal, Speedway Motorsports continues to set the bar high while nurturing a vibrant and respectful workplace culture. The firm looks forward to creating more extraordinary memories for fans and tailwinds of success for its employees in the coming years.
