Caffeine & Octane Lanier Raceway has been sold, with the venue’s final event scheduled for Sunday, November 23, 2025. The track, a fixture of Georgia’s car culture scene, will close permanently after the finale.

A Community Gathering Place

Beyond hosting races, Lanier Raceway has served as a longtime hub for local car enthusiasts, from grassroots drifters to weekend track-day participants. Its closure marks the end of a venue that many in the region’s automotive community considered a second home.

Final Events Leading to the Closure

Organizers are encouraging attendees to check the venue’s online event calendar for a full schedule of remaining events leading up to the November 23 finale, as the track winds down its final months of operation.

What’s Next for Caffeine & Octane

While the Lanier location is closing, the broader Caffeine & Octane brand plans to continue expanding in 2026, including the return of Caffeine & Octane at the Beach, along with touring events such as OctaneFest and Caffeine & Exotics.

An End of an Era, But Not the Brand

Although the Lanier Raceway track itself will go quiet after November, organizers say the broader Caffeine & Octane community and event lineup will carry on through its other planned gatherings in the coming year.
