With the November 17 auction deadline rapidly approaching, prospective buyers have just days remaining to submit sealed bids for 11 established motorsports properties across the United States being sold by Darana Motorsports Holdings, LLC.
Tranzon Atlas, LLC, along with its affiliated Tranzon member companies, is overseeing the sale of the properties, which include some of the most recognizable drag racing facilities in the country. The properties are being offered individually through a hybrid sealed-bid auction process, with bids due Tuesday, November 17.
The auction represents a rare opportunity for prospective track owners, motorsports operators, investors, and commercial developers to acquire established racing facilities with significant infrastructure, acreage, and histories in American motorsports.
The 11 properties available through the auction include:
- Atlanta Dragway – Commerce, Georgia
- Dragway 42 – West Salem, Ohio
- Darana (GALOT) Motorsports Park – Benson, North Carolina
- Empire Dragway – Leicester, New York
- Heartland Motorsports Park – Topeka, Kansas
- Kil-Kare Raceway – Xenia, Ohio
- Memphis International Raceway – Millington, Tennessee
- Milan Dragway – Milan, Michigan
- National Trail Raceway – Hebron, Ohio
- Rockingham Speedway – Rockingham, North Carolina
- Virginia Motorsports Park – Dinwiddie, Virginia
The original offering included 12 properties, but Piedmont Dragway in Julian, North Carolina, was sold in October to longtime racer and businessman Greg Loflin and his partner, Terry Ferrell, ahead of the auction deadline.
The remaining properties range from dedicated drag racing facilities to expansive multi-use motorsports complexes, presenting opportunities for buyers interested in continuing racing operations as well as those exploring commercial development or redevelopment.
Several of the properties feature substantial acreage and existing infrastructure. Heartland Motorsports Park in Topeka, Kansas, encompasses approximately 623 acres, while Virginia Motorsports Park includes more than 500 acres. Atlanta Dragway, the former NHRA national event facility in Commerce, Georgia, is being marketed as a 345.5-acre property.
Other notable offerings include Memphis International Raceway, Milan Dragway, and Rockingham Speedway, each of which features hundreds of acres of property and established motorsports infrastructure.
“It is extraordinarily rare for this many established motorsports properties to come to market at the same time,” said Tim Mast, president of Tranzon Atlas, LLC. “These facilities have recognizable names, established racing histories and substantial infrastructure in markets across the country. While we expect strong interest from the racing community, the size, location and improvements associated with many of these properties also create opportunities for developers and other real estate investors. Buyers can pursue a purchase now or participate through the auction process in November.”
Darana Motorsports Holdings announced the sale in October as part of its decision to exit the racing business. The company assembled its portfolio of motorsports facilities through a series of acquisitions before announcing plans to divest the properties.
“Our business has taken a different direction from what we originally anticipated, and I have made the decision to exit the racing business through the sale of these properties,” said Daryl Cuttel, CEO of Darana Motorsports Holdings, LLC. “Our goal is to complete the sale of these properties and our exit from the racing business by the end of the year.”
While November 17 marks the sealed-bid deadline, interested buyers still have the opportunity to negotiate purchases ahead of the auction. Tranzon is actively working with prospective purchasers evaluating individual properties.
Under the hybrid auction format, interested bidders must meet applicable qualification requirements and submit sealed bids by the deadline. Following the initial bidding process, selected qualified bidders may be invited to participate in subsequent online bidding.
Prospective buyers are encouraged to review the available property information, due diligence materials, and bidding procedures before submitting an offer.
With the deadline just days away, the auction presents a significant opportunity for buyers seeking established motorsports facilities or large commercial properties with existing infrastructure in markets across the country.
