1955 - POTOMAC VALLEY SPEEDWAY
Potomac Valley Speedway was a 1/3 mile dirt oval track built by locals for locals. These day meeting were initially held on a Sunday and started to attract visitors, some from interstate. Stock Cars and Sportsmans featured on the program.
As the venue became more popular the racing was moved to Friday's. This move would be the start of the end for this track, This competition from other tracks in the region would take its toll, as everyone wanted to run on the Friday, with no one backing down. The track was forced to close in 1961.

2022 - POTOMAC VALLEY SPEEDWAY
Abandoned since 1961 Dale Evans recalls: I spent the week working on the old Potomac Speedway at Fort Ashby for the new owners. The East and West curves are ready, off to a great start to bring the speedway back to life. There are some people that dont know there was a speedway in town.
