The undersigned acknowledges receipt of the Prospectus, dated June 18,
1999 (the "Prospectus"), of Speedway Motorsports, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), and this Letter of Transmittal (this "Letter"), which together
constitute the offer (the "Exchange Offer") to exchange the Company's
$125,000,000 8 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2007, Series B (the "Series B
Notes") and the Company's $125,000,000 8 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes Due
2007, Series C (the "Series C Notes," and together with the Series B Notes the
"Old Notes") for $250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company's
8 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes, Series D (the "Exchange Notes" or "New
Notes").
For each Old Note accepted for exchange, the holder of such Old Note will
receive a New Note having a principal amount at maturity equal to that of the
surrendered Old Note. The New Notes will bear interest at a rate equal to
8 1/2% per anum. Interest on the New Notes is payable semiannually, commencing
August 15, 1999, on February 15 and August 15 of each year (each, an "Interest
Payment Date") and shall accrue from the date of original issuance, or from the
most recent Interest Payment Date with respect to the Old Notes to which
interest was paid or for which interest was duly provided. The New Notes will
mature on August 15, 2007.
Subject to certain exceptions, in the event of a Registration Default (as
defined below), holders of Old Notes are entitled to receive Liquidated Damages
of $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes held by such holders
(up to a maximum of $0.30 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes). A
"Registration Default" with respect to the Exchange Offer shall occur if: (i)
the registration statement concerning the exchange offer (the "Exchange Offer
Registration Statement") has not been filed with the Commission on or prior to
the 60th day after May 11, 1999 (the "Closing Date") (ii) the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement has not been declared effective on or prior to the 120th
day after the Closing Date (the "Effectiveness Target Date"), (iii) the Company
fails to consummate the Exchange Offer within 30 business days after the
Effectiveness Target Date with respect to the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement, (iv) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective
but thereafter ceases to be effective during the period specified in the
Registration Rights Agreement. Holders of New Notes will not be and, upon
consummation of the Exchange Offer, holders of Old Notes will no longer be,
entitled to (i) the right to receive the Liquidated Damages or (ii) certain
other rights under the Registration Rights Agreement intended for holders of
Old Notes. The Exchange Offer shall be deemed consummated upon the occurrence
of the delivery by the Company to the Registrar under the Indenture of New
Notes in the same aggregate principal amount as the aggregate principal amount
of Old Notes that are tendered by holders thereof pursuant to the Exchange
Offer.
The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, (i) to delay
accepting any Old Notes, (ii) to extend the Exchange Offer, in which event the
term "Expiration Date" shall mean the latest time and date to which the
Exchange Offer is extended, (iii) if the Commission does not declare the
Registration Statement effective, to terminate the Exchange Offer, by giving
oral or written notice of such delay, extension, or termination to the Exchange
Agent, and (iv) to amend the terms of the Exchange Offer in any manner. If the
Exchange Offer is amended in a manner determined by the Company to constitute a
material change, the Company will promptly disclose such amendments by means of
a prospectus supplement that will be distributed to the registered holders of
the Old Notes. Modifications of the Exchange Offer, including but not limited
to (i) extension of the period during which the Exchange Offer is open and (ii)
satisfaction of the conditions set forth under the caption "The Exchange Offer
- -- Conditions of the Exchange Offer" in the Prospectus, may require that at
least ten business days remain in the Exchange Offer. In order to extend the
Exchange Offer, the Company will notify the Exchange Agent of any extension by
oral or written notice and will make a public announcement thereof, each prior
to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously
scheduled Expiration Date.

Trust Company (the "Book-Entry Transfer Facility"), (ii) such holder is an ATOP
member but chooses not to use ATOP or (iii) the Old Notes are to be tendered in
accordance with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Instruction 1

other documents required by this Letter to the Exchange Agent on or prior to
the Expiration Date, must tender their Old Notes according to the guaranteed
delivery procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer -- Guaranteed Delivery

PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the
undersigned hereby tenders to the Company the aggregate principal amount of Old
Notes indicated above. Subject to, and effective upon, the acceptance for
exchange of the Old Notes tendered hereby, the undersigned hereby sells,
assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Company all right, title
and interest in and to such Old Notes as are being tendered hereby.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has
full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the Old Notes
tendered hereby and that the Company will acquire good and unencumbered title
thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances
and not subject to any adverse claim when the same are accepted by the Company.
The undersigned hereby further represents that any New Notes acquired in
exchange for Old Notes tendered hereby will have been acquired in the ordinary
course of business of the person receiving such New Notes, whether or not such
person is the undersigned, that neither the holder of such Old Notes nor any
such other person is engaged in, or intends to engage in, a distribution of
such New Notes, or has an arrangement or understanding with any person to
participate in the distribution of such New Notes, and that neither the holder
of such Old Notes nor any such other person is an "affiliate," as defined in
Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
of the Company.
The undersigned also acknowledges that this Exchange Offer is being made
based upon the Company's understanding of an interpretation by the staff of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") as set forth in no-action
letters issued to third parties, including Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation,
SEC No-Action Letter (available April 13, 1989), Morgan Stanley & Co.,
Incorporated, SEC No-Action Letter (available June 5, 1991), Mary Kay
Cosmetics, Inc., SEC No-Action Letter (available June 5, 1991), Warnaco, Inc.,
SEC No-Action Letter (available October 11, 1991) and Shearman & Sterling, SEC
No-Action Letter (available July 2, 1993), that the New Notes issued in
exchange for the Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be offered for
resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than a
broker-dealer who acquires such New Notes directly from the Company for resale
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or any other available exemption
under the Securities Act or any such holder that is an "affiliate" of the
Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act), without
compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the
Securities Act, provided that such New Notes are acquired in the ordinary
course of such holders' business and such holders are not engaged in, and do
not intend to engage in, a distribution of such New Notes and have no
arrangement with any person to participate in the distribution of such New
Notes. If a holder of Old Notes is engaged in or intends to engage in a
distribution of the New Notes or has any arrangement or understanding with
respect to the distribution of the New Notes to be acquired pursuant to the
Exchange Offer, which holder could not rely on the applicable interpretations
of the staff of the Commission and must comply with the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any
secondary resale transaction. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will
receive New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes, it represents
that the Old Notes to be exchanged for the New Notes were acquired by it as a
result of market-making activities or other trading activities and acknowledges
that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New
Notes; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the
undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Securities Act.
The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional
documents deemed by the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the
sale, assignment and transfer of the Old Notes tendered hereby. All authority
conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter and every obligation of the
undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs,
executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of
the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or
incapacity of the undersigned. This tender may be withdrawn only in accordance
with the procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer -- Withdrawal Rights"
section of the Prospectus.
Unless otherwise indicated herein in the box entitled "Special Issuance
Instructions" below, please deliver the New Notes (and, if applicable,
substitute Notes representing the remaining principal balance of any Old Note
exchanged only in part) in the name of the undersigned or, in the case of a
book-entry delivery of Old Notes, please credit the account indicated above
maintained at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility. Similarly, unless otherwise
indicated under the box entitled "Special Delivery Instructions" below, please
send the New Notes (and, if applicable, substitute Notes representing the
remaining principal balance of any Old Note exchanged only in part) to the
undersigned at the address shown above in the box entitled "Description of Old
Notes."

executed copy of this Letter (or facsimile thereof) and any other documents
required by this Letter, or a Book Entry Confirmation, as the case may be, must
be received by the Exchange Agent at its address set forth herein on or before
the Expiration Date, or the tendering holder must comply with the guaranteed
delivery procedures set forth below. This Letter must be used: (i) by all

choose not to use ATOP or (iii) if the Old Notes are to be tendered in
accordance with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth below. Old Notes
tendered hereby must be in denominations of principal amount of $1,000 or any
integral multiple thereof.
Holders whose Old Notes are not immediately available or who cannot
deliver their Notes or a Book-Entry Confirmation, as the case may be, and all
other required documents to the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration
Date, may tender their Old Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures
set forth in "The Exchange Offer -- Guaranteed Delivery Procedures" section of
the Prospectus. Pursuant to such procedures, (i) such tender must be made by or
through an Eligible Institution (as defined below) and a Notice of Guaranteed
Delivery in the Form of Exhibit 99.2 to the Registration Statement of which the
Prospectus forms a part, a copy of which may be obtained from the Exchange
Agent (a "Notice of Guaranteed Delivery"), must be signed by such holder, (ii)
on or prior to the Expiration Date, the Exchange Agent must receive from such
Eligible Institution a properly completed and duly executed Notice of
Guaranteed Delivery (by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery), setting
forth the name and address of the holder of Old Notes, the certificate number
or numbers of the tendered Old Notes and the principal amount of Old Notes
tendered, stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that
within four business days after the date of delivery of the Notice of
Guaranteed Delivery, this Letter together with the certificates representing
the tendered Old Notes or a Book-Entry Confirmation, as the case may be, as
well as all other documents required by this Letter will be deposited by the

tendered hereby, the signature must correspond exactly with the name as written
on the face of the Notes without any change whatsoever.
7
If any tendered Old Notes are owned of record by two or more joint owners,
all such owners must sign this Letter.
If any tendered Old Notes are registered in different names on several
Notes, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate
copies of this Letter as there are different registrations of Notes.
When this Letter is signed by the registered holder of the Old Notes
specified herein and tendered hereby, no endorsements of the submitted Notes or
separate instruments of assignment are required. If, however, the New Notes are
to be issued, or any untendered Old Notes are to be reissued, to a person other
than the registered holder, then endorsements of any Notes transmitted hereby
or separate instruments of assignment are required. Signatures on such Notes
must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.
If this Letter is signed by a person other than the registered holder of
any Notes specified herein, such Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by
appropriate instruments of assignment, in either case signed exactly as the
name of the registered holder appears on the Notes and the signatures on such
Notes must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.
If this Letter or any Notes or instruments of assignment are signed by
trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of
corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such
persons should so indicate when signing, and, unless waived by the Company,
proper evidence satisfactory to the Company of their authority to so act must
be submitted.
ENDORSEMENTS ON OLD NOTES OR SIGNATURES ON INSTRUMENTS OF ASSIGNMENT
REQUIRED BY THIS INSTRUCTION 3 MUST BE GUARANTEED BY A FIRM WHICH IS A MEMBER
OF A REGISTERED NATIONAL SECURITIES EXCHANGE OR A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION OF SECURITIES DEALERS, INC., BY A COMMERCIAL BANK OR TRUST COMPANY
HAVING AN OFFICE OR CORRESPONDENT IN THE UNITED STATES OR BY AN "ELIGIBLE
GUARANTOR" INSTITUTION WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 17AD-15 UNDER THE SECURITIES
EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED (AN "ELIGIBLE INSTITUTION").
SIGNATURES ON THIS LETTER NEED NOT BE GUARANTEED BY AN ELIGIBLE
INSTITUTION, PROVIDED THE OLD NOTES ARE TENDERED: (I) BY A REGISTERED HOLDER OF
OLD NOTES (WHICH TERM, FOR PURPOSES OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER, INCLUDES ANY
PARTICIPANT IN THE BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER FACILITY SYSTEM WHOSE NAME APPEARS ON A
SECURITY POSITION LISTING AS THE HOLDER OF SUCH OLD NOTES) TENDERED WHO HAS NOT
COMPLETED THE BOX ENTITLED "SPECIAL ISSUANCE INSTRUCTIONS" OR "SPECIAL DELIVERY
INSTRUCTIONS" ON THIS LETTER, OR (II) FOR THE ACCOUNT OF AN ELIGIBLE
INSTITUTION.
4. SPECIAL ISSUANCE AND DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS.
Tendering holders of Old Notes should indicate in the applicable box the
name and address to which New Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer
and/or substitute Notes evidencing Old Notes not exchanged are to be issued or
sent, if different from the name or address of the person signing this Letter.
In the case of issuance in a different name, the employer identification or
social security number of the person named must also be indicated. A holder of
Old Notes tendering Old Notes by book-entry transfer may request that Old Notes
not exchanged be credited to such account maintained at the Book-Entry Transfer
Facility as such holder of Old Notes may designate hereon. If no such
instructions are given, such Old Notes not exchanged will be returned to the
name or address of the person signing this Letter.
5. TAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.
Federal income tax law generally requires that a tendering holder whose
Old Notes are accepted for exchange must provide the Company (as payor) with
such Holder's correct Taxpayer Identification Number ("TIN") on Substitute Form
W-9 below, which, in the case of a tendering holder who is an individual, is
his or her social security number. If the Company is not provided with the
current TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, such tendering holder may be
subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. In addition,
delivery of New Notes to such tendering holder may be subject to backup
withholding in an amount equal to 31% of all reportable payments made after the
exchange. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be
obtained.
Exempt holders of Old Notes (including, among others, all corporations and
certain foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and
reporting requirements. See the enclosed Guidelines of Certification of
Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 (the "W-9 Guidelines")
for additional instructions.
8
To prevent backup withholding, each tendering holder of Old Notes must
provide its correct TIN by completing the "Substitute Form W-9" set forth
below, certifying that the TIN provided is correct (or that such holder is
awaiting a TIN) and that (i) the holder is exempt from backup withholding, (ii)
the holder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that such
holder is subject to a backup withholding as a result of a failure to report
all interest or dividends or (iii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified
the holder that such holder is no longer subject to backup withholding. If the
tendering holder of Old Notes is a nonresident alien or foreign entity not
subject to backup withholding, such holder must give the Company a completed
Form W-8, Notice of Foreign Status. These forms may be obtained from the
Exchange Agent. If the Old Notes are in more than one name or are not in the
name of the actual owner, such holder should consult the W-9 Guidelines for
information on which TIN to report. If such holder does not have a TIN, such
holder should consult the W-9 Guidelines for instructions on applying for a
TIN, check the box in Part 2 of the Substitute Form W-9 and write "applied for"
in lieu of its TIN. Note: checking-this box and writing "applied for" on the
form means that such holder has already applied for a TIN or that such holder
intends to apply for one in the near future. If such holder does not provide
its TIN to the Company within 60 days, backup withholding will begin and
continue until such holder furnishes its TIN to the Company.
6. TRANSFER TAXES.
The Company will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the
exchange of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. If, however, a transfer
tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Old Notes pursuant to
the Exchange Offer, the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on
the registered holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering
holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption
therefrom is not submitted herewith, the amount of such transfer taxes will be
billed directly to such tendering holder.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS INSTRUCTION 6, IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR TRANSFER
TAX STAMPS TO BE AFFIXED TO THE OLD NOTES SPECIFIED IN THIS LETTER.
7. WAIVER OF CONDITIONS.
The Company reserves the absolute right to waive satisfaction of any or
all conditions enumerated in the Prospectus.
8. NO CONDITIONAL TENDERS.
No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be
accepted. All tendering holders of Old Notes, by execution of this Letter,
shall waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of their Old Notes
for exchange.
Neither the Company, the Exchange Agent nor any other person is obligated
to give notice of any defeat or irregularity with respect to any tender of Old
Notes nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give any such
notice.
9. MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED OLD NOTES.
Any holder whose Old Notes have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed
should contact the Exchange Agent at the address indicated above for further
instructions.
10. REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE OR ADDITIONAL COPIES.
Questions relating to the procedure for tendering, as well as requests for
additional copies of the Prospectus, this Letter and other related documents,
should be directed to the Exchange Agent, at the address and telephone number
indicated above.
