Stock car races in the now-NASCAR Xfinity Series were held atSouth Boston Speedway, inSouth Boston, Virginia, between 1982 and 2000. The races held at the track were one of the inaugural events of the series from its1982 season.
Multiple races were held at the track in the race's early days: three were held in 1982, five in 1983, back to three in 1984 to 1985, four in 1986, before downsizing to two races from 1987 to 1991. No Busch Series events were held at South Boston Speedway in 1992 or 1993, during which time the track was reconfigured from 0.357 mi (0.575 km) to 0.400 mi (0.644 km) in length, but in 1994 a single race returned to the track,[1] and was run annually until 2000, after which South Boston Speedway departed the series schedule.[2] The race distance was 200 laps (71.4 miles (114.9 km)) in 1982 and from 1985 to 1990, 300 laps (107.1 miles (172.4 km)) from 1983 to 1984 and in 1991, and 300 laps (120 miles (193.1 km)) from 1994 to 2000.[2]
