SPEED SPORT

National Speed Sport News is frequently referred to as “The bible of Motorsports.” Established in 1934, during the rise of midget car racing in the United States, it has served as a key source for authoritative race coverage that is both prompt and engaging. Notably, it is the sole auto-racing publication accessible on microfilm at the Library of Congress. In 2012, under new ownership, SPEED SPORT was reintroduced as a monthly magazine along with a revamped website, all while staying committed to the foundational values and high standards set by its original founder.
