TAMPA, Fla., April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Motor Enclave officially announced a major new partnership with Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa on Saturday, April 4, during its highly attended Cars En Coffee 9th Edition, naming the iconic entertainment destination a Premier Partner and the exclusive naming rights partner of its signature 1.72-mile Hermann Tilke-designed racetrack.
Revealed during a special on-site media ceremony attended by Tampa Mayor Jane Castor, alongside key executives from both organizations, the track will officially be known as the Hard Rock Speedway, marking a defining moment for Tampa’s rapidly growing automotive and experiential entertainment landscape.

Beginning in Q2 2026, the newly named Hard Rock Speedway will serve as the centerpiece of The Motor Enclave’s 200-acre campus, hosting performance driving experiences, member track days, corporate events, and large-scale public programming throughout the year.
As Premier Partner, Seminole Hard Rock Tampa will be fully integrated across The Motor Enclave’s campus and signature experiences, connecting with one of the most engaged enthusiast communities in the country.
