In July 1959, newspapers reported that eighth-mile drag races would run on a straightaway of this 5/8-mile oval, built in 1958 for $150,000. The track was also reported to have been idle since 1940. It sat on the old Rowan County Fairgrounds beside U.S. Highway 29, 500 feet from the new county airport. Drag races were set for every Friday night without stock car racing, plus a Sunday race on September 6. The International Timing Association sanctioned them. No drag racing has been found here after 1959.
