Old track in southern Indiana?

motorhead748 · 11/22/17, 10:18 AM

I cant remember the name or exact location but I ran a winged sprint car race there in early 90's or so. It seems it was out towards jasper maybe. There was no stands or buildings best I remember and when they paid by check I had thoughts of it bouncing but it didn't!! It seems like it was a mid week show and I never heard another thing about it.
Does anyone remember this?

Was it Sweet Owen Speedway in Spencer ? Down in a valley off of St Rd 67

For a short time there was a track near Owensburg In.
Randy Kinser won maybe the only Winged Sprint Car Race there.
Don't think there was ever any Sprint Car Races at Sweet Owen Speedway.

That's likely it... Kelly Kinser won the night I was there, I ran second.

There used to be a track between Logottee(sp) and Shoals. That would have been a little closer to Jasper.
