provision of this Plan or of any Option shall be conclusive and binding on all
parties. A majority of the entire Committee shall constitute a quorum, and the
action of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is
present shall be deemed the action of the Committee. In addition, any decision

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                 FORMULA AWARDS

     4.1  Formula. On or before January 31 of each year during the term of this
          -------
Plan (commencing after the effective date hereof), each person who is then an
Independent Director shall be awarded an Option to purchase 20,000 shares of
Common Stock, in each case at an exercise price per share equal to the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock as of the date of such award. All of the
Option awards referred to in this Section 4.1 shall be made by operation of the
provisions of this Plan and shall require no further action by the Company, the
Board, the Committee or any other person except as specifically provided for
elsewhere in this Plan. Each Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part,
at any time and from time to time during the Option Period. Each Option shall
terminate on the expiration of its Option Period, if not earlier terminated.

     4.2  Other Terms and Conditions. Each Option award under this Plan shall be
          --------------------------
evidenced by an option Agreement as established, from time to time, by the
Committee. The Option Agreements need not be identical with one another, but
each one shall include the substance of, and shall be governed by, all of the
following terms and conditions:

          (a) Numbers of Shares and Option Exercise Price. Each Option Agreement
              -------------------------------------------
     shall state the number of shares of Common Stock to which it pertains and
     the Option exercise price, all in accordance with this Plan.

          (b) Medium and Time of Payment. Upon exercise of the Option, the
              --------------------------
     Option exercise price shall be payable in United States dollars, either in
     cash (including by check) or in shares of Common Stock owned by the
     Optionee or in a combination of cash and Common Stock. If all or any
     portion of the Option exercise price is paid in Common Stock, then such
     Common Stock shall be valued at its Fair Market Value as of the Exercise
     Date.

                                        3

<PAGE>

          (c)  Minimum Exercise; No Transfers. No less than 100 shares of Common
               ------------------------------
     Stock may be purchased by Option exercise at any one time unless the number
     purchased is the total number of shares in respect of which the Option is
     then exercisable. No Option shall be assignable or transferable by an
     Optionee, and no other person shall acquire any rights therein, except
     that, subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(f), the Option may be
     transferred by will or the laws of descent or distribution or pursuant to a
     qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the
     Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules thereunder.

          (d)  Recapitalization; Reorganization. Subject to any action required
               --------------------------------
     by the stockholders of the Company, the maximum number of shares of Common
     Stock that may be issued under this Plan pursuant to Section 3.2, the
     number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option and the
     per-share exercise price applicable to each outstanding Option shall, in
     each case, be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the
     number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a subdivision or
     consolidation of shares or the payment of a stock dividend on the Common
     Stock or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common
     Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.

          Subject to any action required by the stockholders, if the Company is
     the surviving corporation in any merger, then each Option outstanding shall
     pertain to and apply to the securities or other consideration that a holder
     of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Option would have
     been entitled to receive in the merger. A dissolution, liquidation or
     consolidation of the Company or a merger in which the Company is not the
     surviving corporation, other than a merger effected solely for the purpose
     of changing the Company's domicile, shall cause each outstanding Option not
     exercised prior to the effective date of such transaction to terminate. In
     the case of a merger effected for the purpose of changing the Company's
     domicile, each outstanding Option shall continue in effect in accordance
     with its terms and shall apply to the same number of shares of common stock
     of such surviving corporation as the number of shares of Common Stock to
     which it applied immediately prior to such merger, adjusted for any
     increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares of common stock of
     the surviving corporation effected without receipt of consideration.

          In the event of a change in the Common Stock as presently constituted,
     which change is limited to a change of all of the authorized shares with
     par value into the same number of shares with a different par value or
     without par value, the shares resulting from any such change shall be
     deemed to be Common Stock within the contemplation of this Plan.

          The foregoing adjustments shall be made by the Committee, whose
     determination shall be conclusive.

          Except as expressly provided in this subsection, the Optionee shall
     have no rights by reason of (i) any subdivision or consolidation of shares
     of any class, (ii) any stock dividend, (iii) any other increase or decrease
     in the number of shares of stock of any

                                        4

<PAGE>

     class, (iv) any dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation or
     spin-off, split-off or split-up of assets of the Company or stock of
     another corporation or (v) any issuance by the Company of shares of stock
     of any class or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class.
     Moreover, except as expressly provided in this subsection, the occurrence
     of one or more of the above-listed events shall not affect, and no
     adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of,
     or the exercise price relative to, the shares of Common Stock underlying an
     Option.

          The grant of an Option pursuant to this Plan shall not affect in any
     way the right or power of the Company to issue securities of any class, to
     make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes to, of or
     in its capital or business structure, to merge, consolidate, dissolve or
     liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or
     assets.

          (e)  Rights as a Stockholder. An Optionee or a transferee of an Option
               -----------------------
     shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares underlying
     his or her Option until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate for
     those shares upon payment of the exercise price. No adjustments shall be
     made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities
     or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the record
     date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued, except as
     expressly provided in subsection 4.2(d).

          (f)  Option Termination. Each Option Agreement shall provide that, if
               ------------------
     the Optionee's status as an independent Director terminates incidental to
     conduct that, in the judgment of the Committee, involves a breach of
     fiduciary duty by such Independent Director or other conduct detrimental to
     the Company, then his or her Option shall terminate immediately and
     thereafter be of no force or effect. Each Option Agreement also shall
     provide that, if the Optionee dies or if the Option is transferred pursuant
     to a qualified domestic relations order as provided in Section 4.2(c),
     prior to the exercise in full of an Option, then such Option may be
     exercised not later than the expiration of twelve months following such
     death or transfer, as the case may be, by the person or persons to whom his
     or her rights under the Option shall have been transferred by reason
     thereof (but only to the extent that such Option was exercisable on the
     date of such death or transfer). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
     in this subsection, an Option may not be exercised by anyone after the
     expiration of its term.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         5.1 Withholding Taxes. An Independent Director awarded an Option
             -----------------
hereunder shall be deemed conclusively to have authorized the Company to
withhold from the fees, commissions or other compensation of such Independent
Director funds in amounts, or property (including Common Stock) in value, equal
to any federal, state or local income, employment or other withholding taxes
applicable to the income recognized by such Independent Director and
attributable to the Options or Option Shares acquired pursuant to this Plan as,
when and to the extent, if any, required by law; provided, however, that, in
                                                 --------  -------
lieu of the withholding of federal, state and local taxes as herein provided,
the Company may require that the Independent Director (or other person
exercising such Option) pay the Company an amount equal to any federal, state
and local withholding taxes on such income at the time such withholding is
required, if it is ever required, or at such other time as shall be satisfactory
to the Company. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to impose on the
Company a duty to withhold, where applicable law does not require such
withholding, or to imply that an Independent Director is an employee or anything
other than an independent contractor with respect to the Company.

         5.2 Amendment, Suspension, Discontinuance and Termination of Plan. The
             -------------------------------------------------------------
Committee may from time to time amend, suspend or discontinue this Plan or
revise it in any respect whatsoever for the purpose of maintaining or improving
its effectiveness as an incentive device, for the purpose of conforming it to
applicable governmental regulations or to any change in applicable law or
regulations, or for any other purpose permitted by law; provided, however, that
                                                        --------  -------
no such action by the Committee shall adversely affect any Option theretofore
awarded hereunder without the consent of the holder so affected; provided
                                                                 --------
further that any amendment to this Plan that would materially increase the
-------
benefits accruing to participants hereunder, materially increase the number of
shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of Options granted
hereunder or materially modify this Plan's requirements as to eligibility for
participation herein must be approved by the stockholders of the Company; and
provided further that there shall not be amended more than once every six
----------------
months, other than to comport with changes in the Code, any of those provisions
of this Plan that permit Directors to receive awards, that state the amount and
price of Options, or of the underlying Common Stock, to be awarded hereunder to
designated Directors or categories of Directors, that specify the timing of
awards hereunder or that set forth the formula that determines the amount, price
and timing of awards hereunder. This Plan will terminate on the date when all
shares of the Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan have been
acquired upon exercise of Options granted hereunder or on such earlier date as
the Board may determine.

         5.3 Governing Law. This Plan and all rights and obligations hereunder
             -------------
shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of
North Carolina.

         5.4 Designation. This Plan may be referred to in other documents and
             -----------
instruments as the "Speedway Motorsports, Inc. Formula Stock Option Plan."

         5.5 Indemnification of Committee. In addition to such other rights of
             ----------------------------
indemnification as they may have as Directors or as members of the Committee,
the members of the Committee

                                        6

<PAGE>

shall be indemnified by the Company against the reasonable expenses, including
legal fees actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of
any investigation, action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal
therefrom, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action
taken or failure to act under or in connection with this Plan or any Option
granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof or
paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in or dismissal or other
discontinuance of any such investigation, action, suit or proceeding, except in
relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such investigation,
action, suit or proceeding that such Committee member acted in bad faith in the
performance of his or her duties, and without reasonable belief that such
performance was in the best interest of the Company.

         5.6 Reservation of Shares. The Company shall, at all times during the
             ---------------------
term of this Plan and so long as any Option shall be outstanding, reserve and
keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to
satisfy the requirements hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the inability of
the Company to obtain, from any regulatory body of appropriate jurisdiction,
authority considered by the Company to be necessary or desirable to the lawful
issuance of any shares of its Common Stock hereunder shall relieve the Company
of any liability in respect of the non-issuance or sale of such Common Stock as
to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

         5.7 Application of Funds. The proceeds received by the Company from the
             --------------------
sale of Common Stock upon the exercise of Options will be used for general
corporate purposes.

         5.8 No Obligation to Exercise. The aware of an Option under this Plan
             -------------------------
shall impose no obligation upon the Optionee to exercise that Option.

         5.9 Approval of Stockholders. No options awarded pursuant to this Plan
             ------------------------
shall be exercisable by an Optionee or enforceable against the Company unless
and until the Plan shall have been ratified by the stockholders of the Company
so as to comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

the registration requirements of the Act under Rule 144 or any other exemption
