The Wayne County Speedway. Opened on June 26, 1965 and was run by N.E. “Pete” Jacobs. Other original track officers were Wellman Lehman, Myron Werntz and Gary Bossler.
In the 1980s the TV show, "Racing on Dirt" was based on this track. Also in the 1980s the track held NASCAR nights and attracted such NASCAR stars as David Pearson, Bobby Allison and Tiny Lund. In 1987 a Dirt-ROC event featured Cale Yarborough, Rusty Wallace, Davey Allison, Lake Speed, Michael Waltrip, Geoff Bodine, Joe Ruttman and Rodney Combs in Late Models.
