I THINK, but I am not positive, that the building had a sign that said SKYVIEW SPEEDWAY. The last time I drove past on hwy 67 that building was still there and appeared to a part of the constuction / gravel pit business. The only kind of cars we seen there were the modified coupes. A source that might have more information would be Bill Holloway who still lives in Muncie and might have run the place. Google Bill Holloways Racing Photos and a link at the bottom has a contact for Bill or his grandsons would constructed the very near page.
that building is a bar now. and ever july the town has there fire works at the gravel pit.
