The site of this year’s IHRA Summit SuperSeries World Finals, it was announced Saturday that Holly Springs will host the World Finals again in 2023. The racers at the IHRA Summit SuperSeries World Finals as well as officials, sponsors and others have certainly enjoyed the famous Southern hospitality.

“Holly Springs Motorsports has proven to be a wonderful host for the IHRA and our great track and divisional champions,” IHRA President Larry Jeffers said. “We have enjoyed our time here and look forward to coming back again in 2023.”

The Holly Springs story is one of perseverance. The facility, which features an 1/8-mile drag strip, suffered significant damage due to a tornado in December 2015. 

Down but not out, it was rebuilt with a laser-leveled, all-concrete surface. There are eight staging lanes, concrete walls, guardrails and a lengthy uphill shutdown area. There’s also LED lighting, an AccuTime timing system and numerous speakers throughout the facility. In addition, there are 100 sites with electrical hook-ups, plenty of other camping space and a concession stand featuring many tasty options.

The track also features some of the best weekly racers in the nation, evident by back-to-back team championships at the IHRA Division 2 (Heatwave) Summit Team Finals. Holly Springs racer Tim Pace drove his blue and silver Mustang to the IHRA Mod (No Box) World Championship in 2021.

Pace won three straight Mod championships at Holly Springs from 2019-21. Holly Springs track representatives at the 2022 IHRA Summit SuperSeries World Finals include: David Smith (Top), Keith Powers (Mod), Brad Davis (Sportsman) and Christian Alsip (Junior Dragster).
