A new initiative for grassroots racing. Every track is someone’s home track.

01 / The mission

Building community through racing

Grassroots racing is at its best when people feel like they belong.

The Home Track Initiative exists to support the local racing ecosystem: the short tracks, drivers, crews, volunteers, fans, families, businesses, and community partners who keep it alive.

We use storytelling, photography, useful resources, and community-focused programs to show what happens when racing becomes a place for connection—not just competition.

We want to help good ideas travel, give positive work a larger platform, and create new ways for people and organizations to invest in the future of hometown racing.
