Speedway Motors
The history of Speedway Motors can be traced to the childhood of its founder, “Speedy” Bill Smith. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, Bill developed an early passion for performance. He began racing motorcycles as a teenager in the late 1940’s, transitioning to cars in 1948. Speedy Bill’s entrepreneurial streak was established when he started his first business – a hauling service – at age 14.
In 1952, with a degree in education from Nebraska Wesleyan University, 22-year-old Bill decided to forego teaching and pursue his love of cars and racing by opening Speedway Motors, one of the Midwest’s first speed shops. The company opened in a tiny building at 2232 “O” Street, Lincoln’s main drag. Speedway Motors grew quickly, expanding into a 5,000 sq. ft. building near 17th and “N” streets in 1954.
By the early ’60s the company had also opened its own fiberglass manufacturing facility for making street rod and race car bodies and parts. Speedway’s reputation for quality products, great service, and low prices kept it growing through the decades, culminating in a move to its current corporate campus at the turn of the century.
