Abstract
The premier series for dirt track racing (World of Outlaws) has 174 races in 31 states across the country each year. With each race comes different fans, drivers, and crew members to these individual communities. While there are many assets that comes with these nights there is also ways that these moments can be more sustainable and provide a better overall experience for those involved. My project will address the concerns that come with dirt track racing across the country by improving upon the existing speedway facilities and installing new lodging and shop spaces on the site. The challenges with these designs will be: how to make the additions multipurpose for different uses of the facility throughout the year, how to develop a plan for other speedways to utilize more sustainable strategies, and how to tie each design element together. The question to be asked in this project is “How could dirt track racing become a more sustainable endeavor while providing a more positive user experience overall.”
