the pic i bought at the indy circle trade show says ist from 1940 and this track had a covered grandstand with an upside down v shaped house type roof. the guy i bought the photo from said "the negro racing series from the golden era raced at this track cause they were not allowed to run with everyone else back then" i cannot find a town called greenview indiana so maybe it was just called greenview speedway? i thought maybe its a typo could it be greenville or greenfield speedway??? i am really curious about that track photo thanks!

I have one just like it. It's a misprint on the name. It is actually Dayton Speedway.
