Track History
The site began hosting motor racing events in the 1910s. There were two separate racetracks that existed and operated on the site, an original 1/2 mile dirt track and later a 1 1/8th mile dirt track was added. The Penske owned paved speedway replaced the big track and the small speedway was replaced by the expanding of the grocery store in 1988.

Famous quotes containing the words track and/or history:
“The weary sun hath made a golden set,
And by the bright track of his fiery car
Gives token of a goodly day tomorrow.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
