ORANGE COUNTY FAIR SPEEDWAY

The Hard Clay

Orange County Fair Speedway is one of the oldest operating dirt tracks in the United States. The dirt oval was originally constructed in 1857 for horse racing until a group of visionaries decided to stage an automobile race during the annual fair in 1919. With the first race being a success it became an integral part of the fairgrounds thereafter. The Speedway brings in several thousand fans and drivers, who come to watch one of the many divisions: including Sportsman, Small Blocks, Big Block Modifieds and sprint cars. During the season there are more than 30 races including the season ending Eastern States Weekend, that includes the 200-lap championship race. Stock car racing and Orange County, NY go hand in hand as there is no other track with history as rich as the Orange County Fair Speedway.
