This 3/8 mile high banked clay oval track was originally a 1/4 mile oval when it operated from 1960 through the mid 1970's. A junkyard existed on this land until 2005, when Jeff Norris bought the land to resurrect the track his father once raced on.

The track reopened in 2006 and held stock car and modified races, along with special sprint car events. Norris closed the track due to the sagging economy in July 2008. The track reopened under new management in August 2008.]]> Hilltop Speedway

Located at the Dearborn County Fairgrounds, this 1/4 mile high banked clay oval track was built in 1946. After the 2007 season, the track was rebuilt as a 3/8 mile oval. A 1/2 mile track also existed here until 1959, the shape of which is still faintly visible.

In the early days, stock cars were the featured class. Open wheel racing came to the track in the 60's with drivers such as A.J. Foyt and Johhny Rutherford.

Today, non-wing sprint cars, modifieds, and pure stocks race here on Saturday nights. Several times each season, the track hosts several national and regional touring groups, including USAC, World of Outlaws, KISS, and MSCS sprint cars. ]]> Lawrenceburg Speedway

This 1/2 mile paved tri-oval track operated from 1968-2004. The track was billed as the "Fastest 1/2 mile track West of the Mississippi". Along with a weekly Saturday night assortment of stock car races, it hosted NASCAR Northwest Series races.

After a few years of unsuccessful attempts to sell the track to another owner willing to continue the operation, the 92 acre property was sold in 2008 for $1.75 million and will be converted into a winery.]]> Tri-City Raceway

This multi-track facility closed in April 2006 when it was sold for $13.2 million to commercial developers. The firm which bought the land recently put the 65.8 acre parcel back on the market.

A 1/4 mile dirt oval track opened in 1962. A 1/4 mile drag strip was built in 1963. A 1.32 mile road course was created in 1992. The facility also had a BMX track and a karting circuit. Local law enforcement officers held high speed pursuit training here.

This 3/8 mile oval track is only used for occasional special events - including touring sprint car series, monster truck shows, and motorcycle races. A one mile track, whose footprint is still visible, was built in the late 1800's for horse racing. Cars began racing on the big track in 1914. A smaller track was created in 1938, and the large track was last used in the 50's. The current track was rebuilt in 2000.]]> Central Washington State Fair Raceway
