TRACK HISTORY
1969-1972 Kenny Farrand
1973-1980 Buck Arnold
1981-1996 Mike and V. Farrar
1997-2002 Bill and Marlene Hopton
2003-2009 Dave Allison
2009-Current Joe Spiker



1969-1972 Kenny Farrand built and owned Lincoln Park as a quarter mile facility.

1973-1980 Buck Arnold purchased the speedway and ran the race track through 1980.
  • 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.

1981-1996 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.
  • In 1980's LPS hosted Tractor Pulls and Spectator races.
  • 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 Saturday/Sunday.
  • 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).
  • 1986 was the last year for 2 nights with Saturday night becoming the regular weekly race night in 1987, except for special events.
  • 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 1988, the Hut Hundred was conducted as LPS and Rich Vogler won for the 8th time, (a record).
  • 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.

1997-2002 Lincoln Park Speedway was purchased by Bill and Marlene Hopton of Terre Haute, Indiana.
  • 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.

2003 Lincoln Park Speedway was purchased by Dave Allison

July 3 2009 Joe Spiker took over the track on a lease/purchase deal.

Also, looking at that program, the 1983 schedule shows it going to a Saturday/Sunday program. In post #77, look for the 1983 highlights. I think you must have the same program, because you noted that in an older post.

For those wondering, the Saturday card shows "Super Sprints, Limited Late Models & Thunder Cars." Sunday Night was "Late Models, Limited Late Models & Thunder Cars." A new Bomber class is added for cars with a minimum wheelbase of 118" (They were looking for old Caddies, Olds 98's, LTD's...).
