Paragon Speedway: Speed, dirt and high octane

If you have the need for speed and high octane, there's no better place to be on a Saturday night than Paragon Speedway, located in the southwest corner of the county.

Paragon Speedway — a 3/8-mile dirt track — has been a Saturday night tradition in Morgan County since 1954.

The racetrack offers an entertaining experience for the entire family. On race days, you can find cars ranging from Sprints to Super Stocks to Bombers, all in action.

Owned by Keith and Judy Ford for more than 30 years, the Paragon Speedway took on new ownership in 2022.

New owners Robert Woodward and Darrell Helton continue to make improvements to the storied oval, quickly becoming a driver and fan favorite amid the ongoing efforts.

The track is located at 8486 W Old SR 67 just south of Paragon.
