I found an article about Billy McCoy who raced in Midwest c. 1920s years.
I found there McCoy won in 1923 summer at Washington,IN track.

Anybody has info about this track?

Sorry to dig up an old post, but yes, Washington once had a 1/2 mile track that was once on the old circuit back then. I know where it was, but part of it is underneath the newer highway 50 bypass, and the south turns are a farm field now. I think it was once a fairgrounds. Nothing to see really, but older aerial photos show the outline......

Graham Farms was the name of the race track. It was the fairgrounds for Washington, but primarily raced horses. It is just a few yards south of US HWY 50 on the east side of Washington. The only structures left are a couple of small well buildings
