Overview
Dominion Raceway is a 0.400-mile asphalt oval in Thornburg, Virginia, roughly halfway between Richmond and Washington, D.C. in Spotsylvania County. The oval is one piece of a larger motorsports complex that also includes a two-mile road course and an eighth-mile drag strip. With 14-degree corners it is a quick, well-graded short track, and it has been a regular zMAX CARS Tour Presented by SoundGear stop since the late 2010s.
History
Dominion Raceway opened in 2016 as the successor to Old Dominion Speedway, the longtime Manassas, Virginia track that closed in 2012. The new complex in Spotsylvania County broke ground in 2013 and opened to racing in 2016. Old Dominion Speedway is often credited as a birthplace of the Late Model Stock Car division, which track promoter Dick Gore helped popularize in 1979 — a lineage Dominion Raceway carries forward.
The CARS Tour has visited since 2017 and returned annually beginning in 2019. The track's Late Model Stock champions tell the story of its competitive era: Doug Barnes Jr. won titles in 2017 and 2019, Peyton Sellers won four straight from 2020 through 2023, and Landon Pembelton (2024) and Chase Johnson (2025) followed.
