Nazareth Speedway - Track History

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.
