Description:
Orange County Fair Speedway -is by any estimate, the oldest continuously operating dirt track in the United States. It is one of the oldest racing surfaces in the world. Built in 1857 for horse racing at the annual Orange County Fair, it hosted its first auto race in 1919. Racing has continued, except for the WWII years, ever since!
Stock car racing as it is known today began on September 18, 1948. The very first heat race was won by none other than Frankie Schneider, who is our "legend in residence." Frankie still takes a big block modified out on the 5/8-mile "Hard Clay" every now and then just to show the "kids" how it's done.
OCFS hosts five classes of racing, and something for every racer's budget. From the PureStocks to the Mighty Big Block Modifieds, and every division in-between (ProStock, Sportsman, Small Block Modified) the racing here is non-stop action from green flag to checkered.
