Oval Track
The 3/8 mile track hosted Saturday night Late Models, INEX Legends, Mini Modifieds, Street Stocks, Bandeleros, and UCARS. The Late Models now run on 8-inch (200 mm) tires and there are a host of weight and carburetor rules depending on what type of motor is in the car. The track was built as a dirt track in 1952 and was paved in 1953. The 2012 champions are listed below:
Late Model: Doug Liberman
Legends: Ryan Polenz
U-CAR: Scotty Gore
Mini Modified: Keith Riley
Mid Atlantic Street Stock: Mike Ganoe
Old Dominion was also the birth place of the Late Model Stock Car, "The Late Model Sportsman and Limited Sportsman divisions, along with some support classes ran until 1979, when track promoter Dick Gore came up with an idea for a class that would become one of the fastest growing divisions in NASCAR. 'They said it would never work', says Gore, referring to the Late Model Stock Car division. But work it did as it became one of the most popular divisions, spreading throughout the country."

“What is the use of going right over the old track again? There is an adder in the path which your own feet have worn. You must make tracks into the Unknown.”
