Stacy Compton has been named general manager of Pulaski County Motorsports Park in Virginia, the IHRA announced.

Located in Pulaski County and formerly known as the Motor Mile Speedway, the 152-acre motorsports complex features a 0.416-mile paved oval race track and a 1/8-mile drag strip.

A native of Hurt, Virginia, Compton built his racing career on short tracks across Virginia before advancing to NASCAR's national stage. He competed in the Cup, Xfinity (Busch), and Craftsman Truck Series, earning two Truck Series victories, 65 top -10 finishes, a fourth-place championship points finish in 1999, and the 1998 Most Popular Driver award. Following his driving career, Compton founded Turn One Racing to mentor and develop young drivers, worked as a NASCAR television analyst and later built a successful real estate business in Virginia.

As general manager, Compton will oversee day-to-day operations, event execution, racer relations, facility development and community engagement as Pulaski County Motorsports Park enters a new era under IHRA leadership.

"Stacy understands grassroots racing from the driver's seat to the business side," said Darryl Cuttell, owner of IHRA. "His experience, leadership, and Virginia roots make him the right person to guide this facility forward."

"To lead a track with this kind of history, right here in Virginia, is incredibly meaningful to me," said Compton. "Our focus is on building a racer-first environment, delivering a great experience for fans and making Pulaski County Motorsports Park something this entire community can be proud of."

Pulaski County Motorsports Park will serve as a venue for the new IHRA Stock Car Series, along with hosting drag racing, regional programs and community-centered events throughout the 2026 season, according to the IHRA.
