George Ray's Dragstrip is an automotive drag racing strip in Paragould, Arkansas. Built in 1961 by the infamous George Ray, it is one of the oldest single-purpose drag racing facilities in Arkansas. It is located on Arkansas Highway 315, east of Paragould, with racing occurring (in season and weather permitting) every Sunday. Its facilities include a concrete racing strip 2,960 feet (900 m) long and 31 feet (9.4 m) wide, with bleachers along the sides and a spectator catwalk (an original feature dating to its early years).[2] The facility was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]
