Although the facility was closed after the 2008 season, Southern Motorsports Park reopened in 2012 and has played host to the Pro All Star Series (PASS), American Speed Association (ASA) and the Hooters Pro Cup Series and has resumed its place as a regular stop on the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour schedule.
