What started out as a dream and a $300 loan in 1952 from his then fiance, Joyce, “Speedy” Bill Smith, along with his four sons, built Speedway Motors into the world’s largest manufacturer, distributor and retailer of street rod and racing products.
At Speedway Motors we love helping auto enthusiasts and racers build their best cars and live their best moments. That’s what moves us.
As partners in your passion, and fellow dreamers and doers, we’re focused on one question – What moves you?
Whether that’s the pride of sharing your passion with the next generation, making your community a better place or building your own business, we want to hear what moves you. What gets you excited? What makes you get up each day? What keeps you going through the challenging times?
We had hundreds of you tell us What Moves You. We were blown away by the response, and we loved that you were willing to share your dreams with us. And now, we're thrilled to announce our winner; Pat Hensen of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Pat wrote this in his entry:"15 years ago, my rookie midget racing career was cut short after suffering a season-ending crash on my second night of racing. Fast forward 15 years, I managed to put together another car to race an almost full season. I used my midget to inspire my automotive students to learn/apply the science and math they learned to real life experiences involved in a midget car service and set-up. I also use my personal set back to encourage students to not give up on their vision/goals".
