Orlando Speedworld Dragway Lives On With New Owner Ozzy Moya

After nearly a year of constant speculation, rumors, and even misreports over the identity of the new owners, it appears that Florida’s famed Orlando Speedworld Dragway finally has a new face and a bright future ahead of it. Ozzy Moya, owner of DCM Motorsports that also operates the Lakeland Dragstrip about an hour west of Orlando, has acquired the assets of the legendary Speedworld facility, including the  dragstrip and the circle track located on the same piece of property. Moya, in his official statement regarding the acquisition, assured the throngs of racers and racing fans in the Orlando area that racing will continue at both venues for at least the next two decades.

Below is Moya’s statement on the acquisition:

At this time I am pleased to announce that I, Ozzy Moya, owner of DCM Motorsports, have acquired the assets of Orlando Speedworld Dragway. Many thanks go to Carl Weisinger for his efforts in finalizing the deal and the Hart family for all their energies in the negotiations.

There was little give and take on both sides and it was a lot of work and I cannot express enough in thanks to Carl and the Hart family for helping bring the deal to a close. With the acquisition of the Circle Track and our partnership with NASCAR and now with the drag strip, we look forward to making it one of the premier racing complexes in the country.

We plan on bringing the same kind of energy and enthusiasm to the circle track and drag strip in Orlando that we have at Lakeland, to make it the best it can be. I can assure that racing at both facilities will continue for at least the next 20 years.

We will keep people informed on an opening date at the drag strip as soon as the information is available, but it will be very, very soon. As for the Lakeland Dragstrip…nothing is going to change there at all. We will continue to make it better and strive to have it be the best 1/8 mile track in the country. We are extremely excited about the possibilities for racing in both Orlando and Lakeland. Racing information will be available very soon. We Got It! We Did It! And now LET’S GO RACING!
