Starlite Speedway

Located between Monroe and Charlotte NC, Starlite Speedway ran from 1960
to 1976. It was a .4 mile dirt track with an irrigation system to try
and keep the dust down. In 1985 the track was covered over and a
business park built on the site. A trucking company converted the old
ticket booth to house fuel pumps and used it to service their trucks.

If you search 1717 Ashton Avenue, Monroe NC, and check out Google
Streetview, you can see what appears to be the old ticket booth just NW
of the Parks Williams Athletic Complex.

It looks like it has a historic marker on it, which I can't quite make
out on streetview. Presumably it marks the site of the Speedway, which
is great to see if true.
