Florence Motor Speedway, located in Florence, South Carolina, announced that it has “no current plans” to race in 2027.
The track, which has been a regular on the CARS Tour and SMART Modified Tour and has hosted some of the premiere Late Model Stock races such as The IcreBreaker and South Carolina 400, was noticeably absent from the 2027 CARS Tour schedule that was announced earlier this month.
The reason for its absence has now been made clear. The track made its announcement and explained why in a post to Facebook.
It wrote, “It comes with great sorrow to announce that Florence Motor Speedway will not be putting out a schedule for the upcoming 2027 season, and furthermore, there are no current plans for racing on the 4/10 mile oval in 2027.”
As for why, the track explained, “Since taking over the reigns in 2020, we have tried everything in our power to keep soldiering on, but each season has been increasingly difficult. While there have been a plethora of struggles that we have encountered, we made it a mission to explore multiple options on how to face the adversity and somehow come out ahead. Unfortunately, we have now reached the point to where we feel we have exhausted all possible options and it no longer seems feasible to continue. This is a humbling sport as we all know and has been our only focus in life for so long. We must look ahead to days where we can hope to maintain some kind of normalcy with the everyday struggles that life manages to throw at one.”
“We wish nothing but the best to all surrounding race tracks and touring series in the region for 2027 and the years to come. We now will solely shift our immediate focus to ending 2026 at FMS on a high note with our last three remaining events … the 2X Monster Trucks, the South Carolina 250, and the 34th Annual South Carolina 400,” The track concluded.
