Greenville-Pickens Speedway is an inactive 0.5 mi (0.80 km) oval short track in Easley, South Carolina. The track formerly held NASCAR-sanctioned races. The track is owned by Kevin Whittaker and is currently undergoing a redevelopment plan to turn the surrounding land into an industrial park, with the future of the facility itself being uncertain.

Built in 1946 by Bob Willimon, Greenville-Pickens Speedway was opened as a dual-use dirt track for horse racing and auto racing. After six years under Willimon's leadership, the track shut down for two years before reopening in 1954. The following year, brothers Pete and Tom Blackwell bought the facility, owning it until 2003. Under the duo's leadership, the track held NASCAR Cup Series events, was fully paved, and hosted the first live, flag-to-flag Cup Series event in NASCAR's history. In 2003, car dealership owner Kevin Whittaker bought out the facility. After 2022, the facility was again put up for sale with the intent of turning the land into an industrial park. As of 2025, the track remains but is in an dilapidated state, with the surrounding land having been converted into an industrial park complex.
