Item 5.02.Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of
Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e)(1) Establishment of Criteria for
Performance-Based Compensation.
On February 28,
2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the
Compensation Committee) of Speedway Motorsports, Inc. (the
Company) established objective criteria for the determination of
performance-based incentive compensation for the calendar year
ending December 31, 2017 (2017 Incentive Compensation) for
Messrs. O. Bruton Smith, Marcus G. Smith and William R. Brooks
(the Executive Officers) to the Companys Incentive Compensation
Plan (the Incentive Plan).

The specific annual performance goals for the Executive Officers
are based upon the achievement of earnings per share levels, as
defined by the Compensation Committee in accordance with the
Incentive Plan. The performance period is calendar year 2017.The
2017 Incentive Compensation, if any, will be paid to each
Executive Officer based upon the Company achieving a target
defined earnings per share of $1.10, calculated in accordance
with the Incentive Plan, for calendar year 2017. Upon the
achievement of the specified earnings per share target, Mr. O.
Bruton Smith will be eligible for a 2017 Incentive Compensation
payment equal to 3.0 times his 2017 base salary, and Mr. Marcus
G. Smith and Mr. Brooks will each be eligible for a 2017
Incentive Compensation payment equal to 2.0 times his 2017 base
salary. The amount of 2017 Incentive Compensation that each
Executive Officer is eligible to receive will be increased or
decreased in proportion to the Companys earnings per share
achieved in relation to the target earnings per share established
by the Compensation Committee, all in accordance with the terms
of the Incentive Plan. No 2017 Incentive Compensation payments
will be made if defined earnings per share achieved is less than
50% of the earnings per share target.

The Compensation Committee also approved a grant of
performance-based restricted shares of the Companys common stock
and performance-based restricted stock units under the Companys
2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the Stock Incentive Plan) for Mr.
Brooks and Mr. Marcus G. Smith, respectively. Mr. Brooks was
awarded 35,000 performance-based restricted shares of the
Companys common stock, and Mr. Smith was awarded 35,000
performance-based restricted stock units. Mr. Smiths restricted
stock units may be settled only in shares of common stock upon
vesting. As provided in the Stock Incentive Plan, the
performance-based restricted stock and performance-based
restricted stock unit awards generally remain subject to
forfeiture and restrictions on transferability, with one-third of
each award vesting the later of one year from the date of grant
or Compensation Committee certification in 2018, another
one-third vesting two years from the date of grant, and the last
one-third vesting three years from the date of grant. The awards
are also subject to forfeiture, in whole or in part, based on
achievement of defined earnings per share of $1.10, calculated in
accordance with the Stock Incentive Plan, for calendar year 2017.
All of the restricted shares and units will be forfeited if
defined earnings per share achieved is less than 50% of the
earnings per share target and partial forfeiture will occur in
proportion to earnings per share achieved between 50% of the
target and the target.

Incentive Plan.

stockholders approved a proposal to adopt the Speedway

goals for performance-based compensation can be based, including

Incentive Plan as well as the full and complete text of the plan
