1997 - WAYNE COUNTY SPEEDWAY
In 1997 the venue was reopened firstly still a paved track, and once again initially well attended. But in around the year 2000 the owners decided to tear up the paved surface and welcome back the dirt track racers. This turned out to be a good move as the fan and competitor numbers began to rise. The venue continued to operate until 2006 when the owner closed the speedway and build a drag strip next to the speedway.
