About San Antonio Speedway
San Antonio Speedway sits at 14901 State Highway 16 S in San Antonio, TX 78264. This half-mile paved oval was a fixture of late-’70s NASCAR-related racing and national short-track enthusiasts. While the original SAS closed in 2013 and the site has since evolved to host Alamo Dragway and Texas Dirt Speedway, the legacy lives on in local motorsports history. This page provides a complete overview of the venue’s past, current site status, parking, transportation, and nearby lodging and dining options to help fans and visitors plan a streamlined trip.
Note: The venue has undergone name changes over the years (Hi-Way 16 Raceway, San Antonio Raceway, River City Raceway, San Antonio International Raceway). Today, the property’s primary active uses are the neighboring drag and dirt speedway attractions, with the original track largely dismantled. We’ve got you covered with practical, no-nonsense details for visitors and enthusiasts.
Whether you’re researching for nostalgia, or planning a future visit to regional motorsports venues, this guide shares practical details on parking, transportation, and nearby hotels and restaurants. While San Antonio Speedway itself is not operating as a traditional race venue, the surrounding area – including South San Antonio and Von Ormy – offers convenient lodging and dining options.
