The current Darke county fairgrounds horse track can be seen at the top center of this satelite view. As far as I know, other than some cycle races, thrill shows and demo derbys there was never car racing on the fairgrounds track.

The real Greenville Motor Speedway can be seen in the bottom center of this photo about a half mile straight south of the fairgrounds track. It is the dark, almost circular, shape. The track closed in 1952 following a fatal accident. and the property has never been developed. The old wooden grandstand was still standing up into the early 70s.
The arch shaped area, with the dot in the middle, just above the old speedway was the Speedway Drive In theatre. The dot in the middle was the concession stand/projection booth. Following the closure of the track, this "drive in" was built in the old track parking lot. I spent many happy evenings at that "drive in" during my high school years.
