Air Base Speedway
Air Base Speedway, as it was then officially named, hosted one NASCAR Grand National Division race, on August 25, 1951, which was won by Bob Flock.One week after the NASCAR race, Air Base Speedway was reported to have been leased to Buck Baker, Ike Kiser, and Roby Combs.In 1964, the whole circuit was still visible in satellite imagery, and in 1976, showing trees growing around the calcium-treated dirt, only two turns remained in any known images.It wasn't until 2015 in a SpeedSport Magazine article when two editors, John Nelson and Tom Schmeh, denoted that the 1951 event was on a different racetrack.In 2019, YouTuber S1apSh0es (a Greenville, SC native) went viral after uploading a three-part series documenting the history and demise of Air Base Speedway after finding the track on RacingReference.
