History of Lincoln Park Speedway
Lincoln Park Speedway, located about 50 miles southwest from downtown Indianapolis, has been a staple in Indiana racing since its inception, hosting a wide variety of events, including weekly racing series, special events, and major regional sprint car races. The addition of Tommie as General Manager signals a continued commitment to high-quality racing and fan engagement at the track.
Tommie Estes has been named the new General Manager of Putnamville, Indiana’s Honest Abe Roofing Lincoln Park Speedway, effective at the start of the 2025 racing season, which features 26 racing nights between April and September.
With a wealth of experience in the racing industry, Tommie brings over two decades of leadership and hands-on knowledge to the role, positioning him to continue the legacy of excellence at one of Indiana’s most beloved dirt racing venues. Furthermore, Jen Estes will serve as the track’s co-manager.
Honest Abe Roofing will serve as the title sponsor of the 5/16-mile dirt oval. Furthermore, a long term agreement between the track owner, Dave Allison, and USAC Promotions is in place to assure long term stability for Lincoln Park Speedway competitors and race fans.
“We are greatly appreciative to all the phenomenal groups that showed interest in promoting Lincoln Park Speedway,” track owner Dave Allison said. “After an extensive evaluation of all interested parties, we decided that the best choice for the long-term stability, continued growth, expansion and exposure for Lincoln Park Speedway would be to allow USAC to promote the LPS facility. They will continue the tradition of local Saturday night racing at LPS, and I’m confident in USAC’s ability to take the facility to the next level of entertainment for our fans and race teams.”
Tommie’s extensive background in motorsports management and racing includes serving as the Competition Director for the ASCS National Sprint Tour, the Chili Bowl Nationals, and most recently, as the Competition Director for the USAC Silver Crown National Championship, a role he’ll continue in alongside his duties at Lincoln Park.
Furthermore, Tommie previously oversaw the racing operations at Dodge City Raceway Park in Kansas, where he built a reputation for fostering competitive environments and creating fan-friendly events. His work at Dodge City was marked by strong organizational growth, the development of innovative racing programs, and his ability to engage both drivers and spectators alike.
Tommie also served as a longtime American Sprint Car Series Director, where he oversaw race operations, ensured compliance with sanctioning body rules, and worked closely with teams to maintain fair competition.
A former driver himself, Tommie understands the sport from the perspective of both competitors and fans, giving him a unique ability to create a balanced and exciting racing environment. His passion for sprint car racing and his deep connection to the dirt racing community are at the heart of his vision for Lincoln Park Speedway.
I’m honored to take on this role at Lincoln Park Speedway,” Tommie said. “This is an iconic venue, and I’m excited to work with the great team here to build upon the track’s rich history. My goal is to continue growing the track’s reputation for thrilling racing while ensuring we deliver the best experience for drivers, fans, and the local community. I’m looking forward to the challenges and opportunities ahead.
Tommie’s leadership is expected to usher in an exciting new chapter for Lincoln Park Speedway, enhancing both the driver experience and fan experience. His dedication to the sport, coupled with his vast industry knowledge, makes him the ideal person to take the helm of this legendary track.
Tommie will begin his tenure immediately and is eager to meet with fans, drivers, and staff as he works to further elevate Lincoln Park Speedway’s standing as a premier destination for dirt track racing in the region.
