Newport Dragstrip is located on a portion of an old WWII airstrip just outside of Newport, AR, a few miles Southwest of Jonesboro and Northeast of Little Rock. Besides the drag strip, there remains one landing strip, and the local college and State of AR use the former hanger area (pits on raceday) for a truck drving school and for CDL licensing. The state just repaved the hanger area, which makes that part really nice.
