THE
TRACK.
A 34-acre motorsports complex in Shelbyville, Tennessee. A half-mile of purpose-built asphalt with three configurations. 50+ MPH Italian CRG rental karts. Year-round racing thanks to Tennessee's mild climate. Built for amateur racers and serious competitors on the same surface.
Three Ways
To Race.
The track reconfigures depending on the event. Full course for sanctioned racing, sprint for group events, oval for endurance. Same surface, different challenge.
The complete circuit. Long flowing back straight, technical infield, fast carousel exit.
Skips the technical infield section. Slightly faster average speeds, easier rhythm for new drivers and tight time windows.
Banked-feel left-hander only layout. Pure consistency drill. Fewer braking zones, more rhythm and tire management.
REAL RACE GEAR.
Most karting in the Southeast is amusement-park electric. MCK is the opposite. Italian-made CRG racing karts in the rental fleet. Class-spec engines for owner classes. The kind of equipment serious racers actually run.

ONE TRACK.
EVERY LAYOUT.
The sprint circuit reconfigures for the racing at hand. Run it full, flip the direction, break the back straight with a chicane, or drop onto the front oval. Same asphalt, six different races.
Full Circuit
The complete half-mile, run clockwise. The long back straight sets up the fastest corner on the property.
ONE PROPERTY.
TWO TRACKS.
The half-mile you race today is the sprint track: fast, technical, and built for everyone from first-timers to league regulars. The second one is a different animal. Nearly a full mile of competition-grade asphalt, professionally designed to global karting standards, and built for the drivers who came to race.
Built to host local, regional, and national events, the second circuit puts Music City Kartplex on the national map. High-speed, technical, and reserved for competitive karting: a true motorsports challenge on your own back road.
