Well, I was right and I was wrong; USAC sprint cars staged a race at Chandler Speedway on June 17, 1982, but Sheldon Kinser was not the winner. Chuck Amati won in the Daryl Tate #65A. I found the date in my record book, and consulted my USAC book for the actual race info.
So, Chandler has run some major league events on the dirt oval.
