The I-77 Speedway, known as the “Little Diamond of the South,” was a hot spot for dirt track racing fans for many years. The 4/10-mile clay oval located at 2657 Lancaster Highway in Chester, SC raced NDRA Crate Late Models, Super Street, Renegades, Semi-Modified 4, Sportsman Crate, and UCar until it’s closure in late 2013. Since then, the property has been used for annual equipment and tractor auctions and was later listed for sale as an industrial development site.
The 30-acre parcel was recently purchased for $1,000,000 by Alliance DriveAway Solutions, Inc. who was represented by Scott Hensley, CCIM, SIOR and Lester Osborn, CCIM, SIOR of Piedmont Properties/CORFAC International. The seller, Mosley Motor Sports, was represented by Jan Ringeling of the Moody Group | Moody Holdings & Development.
“We continue to see tremendous demand for heavy industrial sites to be used for outdoor storage of trailers, trucks, construction equipment, and other products. Due to high demand and limited supply in Mecklenburg County, our clients are expanding their searches to include sites in the ring counties around Mecklenburg. Because Alliance DriveAway was looking for a development site, the cleared and partially graded land of the I-77 Speedway became the most attractive option for significant cost savings on their future site work,” says Scott Hensley, CCIM, SIOR.
Alliance DriveAway Solutions, Inc. has announced that they will be building their Corporate Headquarters, Driver Training Facility, and Storage Lot for Semi Tractors at the former speedway location. Alliance DriveAway Solutions, Inc. is full-service provider for the moving and transportation of Class A semis throughout the United States and Canada. They are currently located in Pinehurst, North Carolina and are excited about moving the operations and corporate office to Chester County.
