Track History
The track opened in 1948 and continued with a clay surface through the 1973 season. When it opened for the 1974 season, it was the asphalt high-banked oval as it remains to this day. It also had a paved "X" infield added in the late 70's, allowing for Figure 8 racing at the end of the weekly Sunday night race events.
