Asheville Speedway (or New Asheville Motor Speedway, as it was sometimes
called) existed from 1962 -- when it was built over the former Owen
Field airport runway -- until 1999, when the track closed for good.

During that span, the speedway -- which began as a four-tenths-mile
paved oval and wound up as a one-third mile -- hosted some of NASCAR's
greatest names, and was a true test of champions.

BTW: The pavement of speedway still exist, but there are no grandstands.
You can use the speedway with a bicycle.

Perhaps the unique re-use of an old speedway that I've seen. Preserving
lots of the history while providing something of benefit for the whole
community. In the old infield there's a hockey rink, playground, and
volleyball courts, while the old track has been resurfaced and striped
for walking and biking, with the banking still present. All visible on
Google Maps.

Wish I lived closer so I could check it out.
