Swamp Bottom Dragstrip, a new, state-of-the-art facility currently being built in Columbia, Miss., has joined the NHRA Member Track Network as part of the South Central Division (Division 4).

The facility is currently in the development phase in Southern Mississippi and is owned by Brad and Tawanah Reid. Their team has already made significant progress on the dragstrip, laying concrete, installing lights and a tower, and much more in recent months.

The Reid family was eager to join the NHRA Member Track Network during this process, helping to ensure a seamless opening as the track comes to life.

“Swamp Bottom Dragstrip is being built with the goal of creating a first-class home for racers and fans in South Mississippi,” Brad and Tawanah Reid said. “Joining the NHRA Member Track Network during the development of the facility gives us the opportunity to build with strong standards, proven programs, and long-term growth in mind. We are excited to work with Jonathan [Johnson, division director], Division 4, and NHRA as we bring this new track to life.”

By joining the NHRA Member Track Network, Swamp Bottom Dragstrip will be eligible to offer racers in the area a variety of NHRA-sanctioned racing opportunities when the facility opens, including the NHRA Summit Racing Equipment E.T. Series presented by Hoosier, the NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League, NHRA Street Legal, NHRA Jr. Street, and more. Additionally, the track will have the chance to host NHRA specialty events like the NHRA Summit King of the Track and more.

The facility will also get access to NHRA’s extensive support programs as part of the NHRA Member Track Network, insurance benefits, and national marketing platforms as they continue to put the finishing touches on a state-of-the-art facility.

With a strong area fanbase and a region filled with talented racers, there’s also plenty of excitement surrounding the new track.

“We are excited to welcome Swamp Bottom Dragstrip to the NHRA Member Track Network as a brand-new facility currently under development in Columbia, Miss.,” South Central Division Director Jonathan Johnson said. “Brad and Tawanah Reid are not only building a new dragstrip, they are also creating new opportunities for racers, families, and fans throughout the region. Having Swamp Bottom join Division 4 at this stage allows us to work together from the ground up and help establish a strong foundation for the future.”
