Kalamazoo Speedway
milwhcky (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: milwhcky.
This 3/8 mile paved oval race track opened in 1950. It hosts several classes of stock car racing on a weekly basis, as well as occasional sprint car racing events. The preferred racing groove forms nearly a circular lap, which keeps the drivers busy. The banked turns allow for plenty of side-by-side action in every class.
On a side note - do not trust a Garmin GPS unit's search results to find your way to this track. It will send you about six miles north of here.
