The Myrtle Beach Speedway, originally named Rambi Raceway, was built in 1958 and is located on US 501 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

The speedway is a .538 mile semi-banked asphaltic oval track. The NASCAR Busch Series (now the Nationwide Series) raced at Myrtle Beach Speedway from 1988 to 2000.

Currently the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series race on Saturday nights from April until November. The track also runs various other classes of racing including Late Model Super Trucks, Pro 4 Modifieds and Street Stocks. It is also the "home" track of the Loris-based USAR organization, host of the Hooters ProCup Series.

NASCAR's new testing ban on active national and regional series tracks may make the D-shaped oval popular for testing, as it is close enough for NASCAR teams to use as a testing venue as none of the four series in question race there.
