0.500-mile dirt oval. Closed in 1954; site now a shopping center.

Track programs apparently called it the "Home of the Feud Races."

I wonder why they named it Princess Anne Speedway? Britain had a
Princess Anne born in 1950 but that seems a stretch. There's a Princess
Anne, Maryland but it's more than 100 miles away from this track.

Someone knows the exact location of this track?

The place in which there was the track doesn't seem a shopping center.
The oval was on the south side of Dam Neck Road, at the cross with
Taylor Farm Road. There are some trees that can give you an imagine of
what the track was.

The name is that because of the near town of Princess Ann, but the track
is wrongly located at Norfolk, Va. Actually the track belongs to
Virginia Beach, VA.

There were three speedways in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach aerea.

Actually the only speedway in Norfolk was on the site in which JANAF
shopping centers is now (intersections of North Militay Road, East
Virginia Beach Boulevard and Lowery Road). I think this one was Norfolk
Speedway.

In the intersection between North Witchduck Road and Virginia Boulevard,
the was another speedway often called Chinese Corner. I think this one
was Virginia Beach Speedway. This one is actually in Virginia Beach.

Going futher away from Norfolk, always in Virginia Beach, there was an
oval near the intersection between Dam Neck Road and Taylor Farm Road.
This is near Princess Anne town, so I suppose this was Princess Anne
Speedway.

NASCAR raced in the first and third tracks. Is it right?

(the track at Taylor's Farm was not on the 1955 map but is on the 65.)

No, no, and no.

Step aside and leave it to the master.

The track was located on Princess Anne Rd a few miles NW of the
community of Princess Anne.

The 1955 map shows the track. The 65 shows the track is a path, and the
1971 map shows power lines have been put up. Happens that the lines are
at the very edge of third turn. The lines are still there so going by
all that, the track is on Princess Anne Rd just SE of Twinflower Lane.

As of now it has been shut down for 64 years so I think even the aerial
traces are gone. Maybe something on the ground.
