TRACK HISTORY 1969-1972 Kenny Farrand built and owned Lincoln Park as a quarter mile facility. 1973 Buck Arnold purchased the speedway and ran the race track through 1980. 1981 Mike and V. Farrar purchased LPS from Mr. Arnold and formed the facility basically into what is recognized by the fans when they come in today. The Farrar's ran LPS through the 1996 race season. 1997 Lincoln Park Speedway was purchased by Bill and Marlene Hopton of Terre Haute, Indiana. Over the years many changes have taken place, as well as many types of races and events. For example, in 1977 and 1978 former owner Buck Arnold built the concrete grandstands on the west side of the facility. From 1973-1978 races were run on Fridays and Sundays, with Non- Wing Sprints, Limited Late Models, Thunder Cars, and Late Models racing. In 1982 the Farrar's expanded the corner's by 20 ft. and increased the overall length to a 5/16ths mile track. In 1983 the Friday/Sunday racing schedule was changed to Friday/Saturday. 1986 was the last year for 2 nights with Saturday night becoming the regular weekly race night in 1987, except for special events. In 1984 figure 8's were run on Sunday evenings, and also in 1984 John Andretti won his first Sprint Car race of his career at any track. In 1985 a Late Model vs. Sprint Car Challenge was run with Bob Kinser (Sprint Car) winning over Charlie Sentman (LM). Also in 1980's LPS hosted Tractor Pulls and Spectator races. In 1987 Dave Darland won the Putnamville Clash in a borrowed car and uniform. 1987 also saw the introduction of the Modifieds replacing the Sportsman Class. Lincoln Park continued to support Non- Wing Sprint Car racing even as the trend was to go to the Winged- Sprints in the early 1990's. In 1991 Dave Darland won his 2nd straight Sprint Car Title, winning 9 of 16 events, (57%), Dirt Track Racing Workshop also started in 1991, . In 1992 the pit area was expanded, and Bob Kinser won his 7th Sprint Car title at the age of 61. 1993 found LPS completing a full season with no rain outs, and the parking area was expanded to handle continued large counts of cars and fans. In 1995 the pits and backstretch grandstands were added, bringing LPS to todays conditions. Since 1997 LPS has rejoined Indiana Sprint Week, a popular Indiana based week of nothing but great Non-Wing Sprint Car action in July of each year. USAC has come back to sanction many great events for Sprints and Midgets. In 1988, the Hut Hundred was conducted as LPS and Rich Vogler won for the 8th time, (a record). In 2000 the Annual 100 lapper returns to Lincoln Park for the Annual USAC Midget classic. As we race into the 2000 season, we find that Lincoln Park is still committed to racing Non-Wing Sprints on a regular weekly program along with the UMP Modifieds in 2000, to join our new class of Pro Stocks. Great Facility the we've come to love, along with the great competition that we've come to expect every Saturday night in three racing divisions. July 3 2009 Joe Spiker took over the track on a lease/purchase deal.IM NOT EVEN GETTING INTO THE EARLY 2000 YEARS YOU ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED

that was the real skinny one on the hill Clyde Earl Kiefer but the big old boy out by the Pits was Big John Floyd you were still in the right bunch I give you a half point.

The Old Man that drove them all there past away but I think Spiker could round up the rest of them that bunch was almost worth the price of being there

We used to love watching them roll out of their ride and go to work on a loaf of bread and a few pounds of bologna. They were some good guys. Friendly as heck.

Look at how many races were ran at LPS during 1983... I don't remember the races but I sure remember the sound every Saturday and Sunday night.
