The class of equity securities to which this statement on Schedule 13D relates is the Common Stock of Speedway Motorsports, Inc., (the
“Issuer”), a Delaware corporation with principal offices located at 5555 Concord Parkway South, Concord, North Carolina 28027.
Item 2. Identity and Background
Item 2 to Schedule 13D is amended, in pertinent part, as follows:
This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli (“Mario Gabelli”) and various entities which he

The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own beneficially more than 5% of a class of equity securities of a particular issuer.
Although several of the foregoing persons are treated as institutional investors for purposes of reporting their beneficial ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the holdings of those who do not qualify as institutional investors may exceed the
1% threshold presented for filing on Schedule 13G or implementation of their investment philosophy may from time to time require action which could be viewed as not completely passive. In order to avoid any question as to whether their beneficial
ownership is being reported on the proper form and in order to provide greater investment flexibility and administrative uniformity, these persons have decided to file their beneficial ownership reports on the more detailed Schedule 13D form rather
than on the short-form Schedule 13G and thereby to provide more expansive disclosure than may be necessary.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

GAMCO and Gabelli Funds used approximately $8,616,125 and $33,554,734, respectively, of funds that were provided through the accounts of certain of their investment advisory clients (and, in the case of some of such accounts at GAMCO, may be through
borrowings from client margin accounts) in order to purchase the Securities for such clients. GCIA used approximately $4,619,768 of client funds to purchase the Securities reported by it. Foundation used approximately $158,474 of funds of a private
entity to purchase the Securities reported by it. Mario Gabelli used approximately $394,400 of private funds to purchase the Securities reported by him.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Each of the Reporting Persons has purchased and holds the Securities reported by it for investment for one or more accounts over
which it has shared, sole, or both investment and/or voting power, for its own account, or both.
The Reporting Persons are engaged in the business of securities analysis and investment. The Reporting Persons analyze the operations,
capital structure and markets of companies in which they invest, including the Issuer, on a continuous basis through analysis of documentation and discussions with knowledgeable industry and market observers and with representatives of such companies
(often at the invitation of management). As a result of these analytical activities one or more of the Reporting Persons may issue analysts reports, participate in interviews or hold discussions with third parties, with management or with Directors
in which the Reporting Person may suggest or take a position with respect to potential changes in the operations, management or capital structure of such companies as a means of enhancing shareholder values. Such suggestions or positions may relate
to one or more of the transactions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D including, without limitation, such matters as disposing of one or more businesses, selling the company or acquiring another company or business,
changing operating or marketing strategies, adopting or not adopting, certain types of anti-takeover measures and restructuring the company’s capitalization or dividend policy.
Each of the Reporting Persons intends to adhere to the foregoing investment philosophy with respect to the Issuer. However, none of the
Reporting Persons intends to seek control of the Issuer or participate in the management of the Issuer, and any Reporting Person that is registered as an investment company under the Company Act will participate in such a transaction only following
receipt of an exemption from the SEC under Rule 17d-1 under the Company Act, if required, and in accordance with other applicable law. In pursuing this investment philosophy, each Reporting Person will continuously assess the Issuer’s business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Issuer’s securities in particular, other developments and other investment opportunities, as well as the
investment objectives and diversification requirements of its shareholders or clients and its fiduciary duties to such shareholders or clients. Depending on such assessments, one or more of the Reporting Persons may acquire additional Securities or
may determine to sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of its holdings of Securities. Although the Reporting Persons share the same basic investment philosophy and although most portfolio decisions are made by or under the supervision of Mario
Gabelli, the investment objectives and diversification requirements of various clients differ from those of other clients so that one or more Reporting Persons may be acquiring Securities while others are disposing of Securities.
With respect to voting of the Securities, the Reporting Persons have adopted general voting policies relating to voting on specified issues
affecting corporate governance and shareholder values. Under these policies, the Reporting Persons generally vote all securities over which they have voting power in favor of cumulative voting, financially reasonable golden parachutes, one share one
vote, management cash incentives and pre-emptive rights and against greenmail, poison pills, supermajority voting, blank check preferred stock and super-dilutive stock options. Exceptions may be made when management otherwise demonstrates superior
sensitivity to the needs of shareholders. In the event that the aggregate voting position of all Reporting Persons exceeds 25% of the total voting position of the Issuer, one or more of the filing persons may transfer voting and/or dispositive power
over shares to independent committees of directors or the owners of such shares. Such committees vote and/or consider disposition of such shares independently of the Reporting Persons.
Each of the Covered Persons who is not a Reporting Person has purchased the Securities reported herein as beneficially owned by him for
investment for his own account or that of one or more members of his immediate family. Each such person may acquire additional Securities or dispose of some or all of the Securities reported herein with respect to him.
Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons and none of the Covered Persons who is not a Reporting Person has any
present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any transaction, change or event specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest In Securities Of The Issuer
(a) The aggregate number of Securities to which this Schedule 13D relates is 2,405,561 shares, representing 5.89% of the 40,853,902 shares
outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s most recently filed Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019. The Reporting Persons beneficially own those Securities as follows:
Name | Shares of Common Stock | % of Class of Common |
GAMCO Gabelli Funds GCIA Foundation Mario Gabelli | 445,307 1,697,446 234,808 8,000 20,000 | 1.09% 4.15% 0.57% 0.02% 0.05% |
Mario Gabelli is deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Securities owned beneficially by each of the foregoing persons. GCIA is deemed
to have beneficial ownership of the Securities owned beneficially by G.research. AC, GBL and GGCP are deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Securities owned beneficially by each of the foregoing persons other than Mario Gabelli and the
Foundation.
(b) Each of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons has the sole power to vote or direct the vote and sole power to dispose or to direct
the disposition of the Securities reported for it, either for its own benefit or for the benefit of its investment clients or its partners, as the case may be, except that (i) Gabelli Funds has sole dispositive and voting power with respect to the
shares of the Issuer held by the Funds so long as the aggregate voting interest of all joint filers does not exceed 25% of their total voting interest in the Issuer and, in that event, the Proxy Voting Committee of each Fund shall respectively vote
that Fund’s shares, (ii) at any time, the Proxy Voting Committee of each such Fund may take and exercise in its sole discretion the entire voting power with respect to the shares held by such fund under special circumstances such as regulatory
considerations, and (iii) the power of Mario Gabelli, AC, GBL, and GGCP is indirect with respect to Securities beneficially owned directly by other Reporting Persons.
(c) Information with respect to all transactions in the Securities which were effected during the past sixty days or since the most recent
filing on Schedule 13D, whichever is less, by each of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons is set forth on Schedule II annexed hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
(d) The investment advisory
clients of, or partnerships managed by, GAMCO, Gabelli Funds, Teton Advisors and MJG Associates have the sole right to receive and, subject to the notice, withdrawal and/or termination provisions of such advisory contracts and partnership
arrangements, the sole power to direct the receipt of dividends from, and the proceeds of sale of, any of the Securities beneficially owned by such Reporting Persons on behalf of such clients or partnerships. Except as noted, no such client or
partnership has an interest by virtue of such relationship that relates to more than 5% of the Securities.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
The powers of disposition and voting of Gabelli Funds, Teton Advisors, GAMCO, GCIA and MJG Associates with respect to Securities owned
beneficially by them on behalf of their investment advisory clients, and of MJG Associates and GCIA with respect to Securities owned beneficially by them on behalf of the partnerships or corporations which they directly or indirectly manage, are held
pursuant to written agreements with such clients, partnerships and funds.
