Early in 1941 a new 1/5 mile oval dirt track was built within the original track, this quickly changed again later in 1941 to a 1/3 mile configaration. Unfortunately after just a few meetings World War 11 got in the way and the track closed until 1926.

1946 - STIRLING SPEEDBOWL
With the end of the war the track reopened with Midgets featuring on the program, that was all to change though, By the 1950's Stock Car racing was taking over at most tracks. Stock Car numbers were on the increase and so was the new division called Late Model Sedans.
