Montgomery Motor Speedway is a half-mile (.805 km) oval race track just west of Montgomery, Alabama. It opened in 1953, and is the oldest operating race track in Alabama. Huffman Motor Sports purchased the facility on February 5, 1999 and the track was extensively renovated and lighted in 1999.

In November 2004, Bill Manful bought Montgomery Motor Speedway. In 2006, Manful leased the track to a local car manufacturer to allow the facility to become a storage site.

In 2008, Bobby and Mark Knox of Clanton Alabama laid claim to the speedway when they purchased it in an auction from Manful. After a lengthy legal battle to resume operations of the facility, they obtained a business license in February 2009 and opened as The New Montgomery Motor Speedway, LLC. The track is in operation running a Bi-weekly schedule.

It will host the ARLA Elite Series for the first time in 2013.
