Mountain View Raceway in Spring City, Tennessee is up for sale and if its not purchased as a race track by spring it will be “something else.”

In a post to Facebook earlier today, Mountain View Raceway, which was formerly known as Spring City Raceway and Rhea County Raceway, stated, “MOUNTAIN VIEW RACEWAY IS FOR SALE. IF NOT SOLD AS A RACE TRACK BY SPRING IT WILL BE SOMETHING ELSE. IF INTERESTED EMAIL ME AT [email protected] that way I can give you all the information that’s way too much to text.”

The post follows one on December 14th, where track owner Susan Hampton revealed that she had announced at the track’s banquet that the 2025 season would be the last one with her operating the track. Additionally, she shared in that post that she had “been talking with people that are interested in opening the track next season so don’t think it will sit dormant.”

She added, “It is a great facility and should keep going. Best of luck to the next ones!!!!”

Susan and her husband Kelvin purchased the track back in 2017 and reopened it in 2020 after a nearly $200,000 renovation. In an interview with Racing News at the end of 2018, Hampton shared that he had updated “pretty much the entire track and everything around it” and had plans to “build a new concession stand where you come off the track. A few more grandstands on the hill. I have about 2,000 bleachers that came from the Cleveland Speedway. I’m going to put those all the way across the front.”

“Spring City is going to let us have sewer,” he continued. “So, we can do all kinda of new bathrooms. That’s what it needs.”

He also shared how he configured the track to a 1/4 mill track with average banking of 23 degrees with 17 degrees on the front stretch and 12 on the back shoot, ““I put 500 loads of dirt on the front to make the banking stepper on the front. It’s got a lot more banking and it’s a lot wider. 75 feet wide down the straight-aways. I changed the ends too. I steepened them up and tried to get some more length out of the straight-aways.”

“The only way to get more length, without a whole lot of work was to make the banking steeper,” he explained. “Which it needed because it was pretty rough. It needed a lot of attention.”

This past year the track ran seven divisions: Crown Vic, Sportsman, Open Wheels, B Sportsman, Late Models, Street Stock, and FWD.
