  • American Road Courses
    American Road Courses Road America Watkins Glen Meadowdale Laguna Seca Westwood Riverside Mid Ohio Every Road Course Daytona of Past and Present in the United States Mosport and Canada Sebring Barber Miller Rob Semmeling American Road Courses Page 2 Introduction This file lists all permanentpaved road courses - i.e. non-oval racing circuits - in the United States and Canada. In most cases, 'permanent' is synonymous with 'purpose-built'. However, some circuits were not purpose-built but actually started out as tempo- rary courses. Florida's Sebring International Raceway, for example, was originally a temporary airfield course, laid out over the runways of Hendricks Field. Likewise, Portland International Raceway in Oregon evolved from a street course. Both circuits are nowadays permanent facilities. The starting point for this list was the 2003 edition of Allan Brown's book "A History of America's Speedways: Past & Present". This is an indispensable reference work for which Allan cannot be praised enough. However, in the book the road courses are a bit buried between the vast number of ovals. Listing them separately gives a better overview. Also, I found the information in the book is not always accurate. It is an excellent basis for further research but the data should be treated with great care. I have done my best to present the most correct and accurate info in this file, although there may well be errors here and there. In general, there are three main types of American road courses. The most interesting are the 'pure' road courses which were built specifically for road racing.

  • Jack Hewitt Entertains Crowd at Villages Club
    Hewitt Entertains Crowd at Villages Club The Villages Daily Sun Friday, January 9, 2015 By Steve Trivett Jack Hewitt kept the crowd on the edge of their seats for much of his stellar auto-racing career. He had them rolling in the aisles during a meeting of The Villages Motor Racing Fan Club on Wednesday evening at Colony Cottage Recreation Center. “Before I say anything, I need to warn you that I’m not rated G and I’m not politically correct,” said Hewitt, one of the most famous names in the history of United States Auto Club racing. “But I’ve stories up the ying-yang.” Yes, he does – much to the delight of the crowd of more than 100 that filled the room. And he told most of them. To say that Hewitt is a throwback is to say that belonging to the auto racing fraternity is not for the faint of heart. He’s had his neck broken twice. On at least one occasion, he’s caught on fire – that’s right, on fire. “We were running at the Fairgrounds at Indianapolis when something blew and there were flames everywhere,” he recalled. “The fire-fighting guys came over and turned all of their extinguishers on the car. “I had gotten out and I’m yelling, ‘But what about me!’ The only part of my neck that wasn’t burned was where the strap of my helmet went under my chin, and my feet were on fire. But I’m still here to tell about it.” Tell you about it he will – and he’s one of those who can talk the talk because he walked the walk.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, July 20, 2015 FOX SPORTS & TRUCKERS PLAY DIRTY IN WEDNESDAY’S NCWTS MUD SUMMER CLASSIC FOX Sports 1 Offers Live Race Coverage from NASCAR’s Only Dirt-Track Race NASCAR returns to its roots this week when the NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES slings dirt at Eldora Speedway for the third consecutive year. Tony Stewart’s dirt track in Ohio hosts NASCAR’s only national series dirt race on Wednesday, July 22, live on FOX Sports 1 at 9:00 PM ET. Beginning with practice on FOX Sports 1 at 10:30 AM ET on Wednesday, FOX Sports offers nine hours of live coverage from Eldora, the series’ 11th stop of the season, including practice, qualifying, five 10-lap qualifying races and the feature race (9:00 PM ET on FOX Sports 1). The 150-lap race is divided into three segments of 60, 50 and 40 with competition cautions at the breaks at laps 60 and 110. The inaugural Mud Summer Classic drew several Cup Series regulars and non-NASCAR dirt- track legends, and continues to attract competitors outside the Truck Series. Confirmed for Eldora are 2012 NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES champion Brad Keselowski, the first past Cup Series champion to compete at Eldora; inaugural Mud Summer Classic winner Austin Dillon; NASCAR XFINITY SERIES regular Ty Dillon; and 2013 Eldora pole sitter Ken Schrader. The Dillon brothers first competed at Eldora in Dirt Late Models and have vast dirt experience, as does Schrader.
