Greensboro Agricultural Fairgrounds- 1/3 Dirt oval. Held races in 1957
and 58. Known for having a fight between Tiny Lund and Lee Petty in
1957. The ruckus took place on a flatbed trailer that was being used as
a stage for driver introductions. It was a brawl between the giant Tiny
Lund, whose nickname was a misnomer, and NASCAR pioneer Lee Petty - with
Papa Lee's teenage sons, Richard and Maurice, and even his wife,
Elizabeth, joining in.

Track was located just to the southeast of the present day Greensboro
Coliseum. Most of the former track space appears to now be parking lots.
Track was already long gone by 1968.
