TIMMONSVILLE, S.C. (WMBF) - The goal in racing is to get to the winner’s circle, and while the Florence Motor Speedway is only in the early stages of their own race - they’re looking to take the checkered flag.
“You know I spent going on ten years at Myrtle Beach, so I knew that property very well,” said Steve Zacharias, the track’s new owner.
Zacharias formerly served as the general manager of the Myrtle Beach Speedway. Following the track’s closing last year, he and his team took over the Florence Motor Speedway from racing legend Charlie Powell.
