It’s a few miles southeast of Corbin, Kentucky

It’s on the Eastern side of Corbin Mr. Mustard

You could be looking at the Corbin asphalt track-( if it’s still there)
Was in operation for many years- was there once 40 years ago- but can’t remember where in Corbin it was located.

The track address is 4001-KY 26, Corbin , Ky. Hwy 26 is a little S.E. Of downtown Corbin.

I hope he has quick local support for sure to get the track going and get some cashflow going through there. And from there I hope it races well enough to attract regional late model series such as Southern Nats, IronMan, Ultimate, SAS, CRUSA, Topless Outlaws, etc. I know nothing about the track other than what I’ve read in articles and seen on Facebook, but I agree they have fought through a tremendous amount of adversity to get the track to open, and I can’t help but to wish them nothing but the best.

Wendell Lewis spent the weekend at Talladega's Ice Bowl, talked to him for 3 days about this track. Electricity was an issue but they were going to get a "beast" of a generator. The county and local governments have not given them any grief and were welcoming. Wendell said it was going to be a long haul to get the track opened due to so much needed for a track truly being remote and out in the boondocks.

Give em time.

Kentucky Lake used a big generator to power the property. Worked pretty well from what I remember.

The track address is 4001-KY 26, Corbin , Ky. Hwy 26 is a little S.E. Of downtown Corbin.

The track is 5.5 mile south southwest of Corbin, about a mile southwest of 4001-26 Corbin address.

Google Earth has a photo dated 2018, Actually the track looks like it has decent banking, but still yet I hear it's flat.

Here is a video I found on the tracks Facebook page.

It shows you the track and around the facility. Looks like a decent track from the video.

Interesting, seems like 1 and 2 have an odd shape. Wish he would have focused more on the track layout. Wish the guy the best.

All I can say is that I'm glad its a Friday night track. Seems everyone is wanting to open a track in KY and run on Saturdays and theres not a whole lot of cars to go around.

I am not saying you are wrong by any means on the “southwest” of Corbin part. When we visited the track - we were going south on I-75 and took the 2nd Corbin exit -then went east to Hwy.26. Turned at right at a market/store up the hill to the track. ( which would be going back westward). Just know it’s on the eastern side of interstate 75 & a long/steep road leading up the hill from Ky- 26.
Really doesn’t matter southeast/southwest as long as folks can find it. I have been wrong many times in my life!
