Concord Speedway was a motorsports facility located in the town of Midland, North Carolina, southeast of Concord, North Carolina. The complex featured a 1⁄2-mile asphalt tri-oval and a 1⁄4-mile asphalt oval.
The complex was built in 1982 by Henry Furr, originally with the big track as a dirt 4⁄10-mile oval. The track was later paved, and then reconfigured in 1991 as a 1⁄2-mile tri-oval. The primary divisions for the half-mile shifted between Super Late Models, and Late Model Stock Cars.
The small track was built first as a 1⁄5-mile layout for go-kart racing in the mid to late 1980s, the track was reconfigured to add a 1/4-mile asphalt oval layout in the mid '90s – the bigger layout featured was loosely egg shaped around the 1⁄5-mile oval – this layout traditionally hosted INEX Legends & INEX Bandoleros as the primary weekly division.
The half-mile track was especially known for the Big 10 Series for Super Late Models, and the North-South Shootout event (featuring multiple divisions – the marquee being a 125-lap Tour-type Modified race).
The track closed in July 2019, and was sold to Copart.
