CORDELE, Ga. – Crisp Motorsports Park has new ownership, as the facility was purchased by Greg and Lori Noland in January.

The facility, which features a three-eighths-mile paved oval, has officially been renamed to Cordele Motor Speedway.

In addition to the new name, the Nolands have many plans for Cordele Motor Speedway, including a new look, general manager, RV park, a restaurant for concessions, and a road course for Legend cars and go karts.

Ricky Brooks will serve as the new general manager of the facility. Brooks has a wealth of expertise in the industry, and he is also a managing partner of the SRL National Super Late Model Tour and owner of the SRL Sportsman Series.

“Ricky’s 30-plus years of experience in motorsports will be priceless, both in moving CMS in the right direction and in implementing our ideas for the speedway,” said Greg Noland.

Lori Noland added that she has “seen firsthand the passion and professionalism that Ricky possesses for motorsports, especially for short track stock car racing, and that he’s a racer at heart.”

“I look forward to working every day to make the new Cordele Motor Speedway a better place for everyone involved,” said Brooks. “My focus is to remodel the facility into a state-of-the-art speedway while growing the 2024 race season and beyond.”

The track’s previous owners, Wayne and Flo Lyle, purchased the property with a vision of making improvements and giving drivers and fans a great place for racing. Now, with the Nolands’ ownership and their eagerness to further improve the track, the Lyles’ legacy will continue to live on.

“The Lyle family would like to thank all of the teams, fans, Crisp Motorsports Park employees, and sponsors for their support over the years,” said David Sumner. “Wayne and Flo’s dedication made Crisp Motorsports Park well-known all over the Southeastern United States as one of the most successful racetracks, and one of the nicest facilities for enthusiasts to enjoy.”

Greg and Lori Noland are no strangers to motorsports, as their son Jett is a short track racer with multiple championships to his name, as well experience in a variety of classes ranging from shifter karts to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, IMSA road racing, Trans-Am TA2 Series, and Formula 4.

The Nolands are also veteran business owners, having operated their roofing company in Florida – Noland’s Roofing – since 2011.

“We are devoted to developing the next generation of racers and fully committed to ensuring that Cordele Motor Speedway will always be a short track,” concluded Greg Noland.
