The facility has been active up until 2009, but funding has been cut to the fairgrounds, which could close the fair. For the track itself it has been long turned into a parking lot for the fair. Only NASCAR races were run in 1951 and 1952. Interesting photos and stories of the raceway: http://www.waterwinterwonderland.com/speed.asp?id=1757&type=9 2. chris o posted: 10.06.2012 - 3:06 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) track no longer is use 3.

I went there about 15 years ago and you could still see the wall along what was the backstretch and you could also still see the slight banking in turns 3 and 4. 4.

It has a pic of the lineup before the pace lap with Flock, Teague, Thomas, Thompson. 59 cars on a 1 mile dirt track. If you google Michigan State Fairgrounds Detroit MI it will take you to a place other than where this track was. It is just south of 8 Mile Rd (Eminem?) and SW of the RR tracks. you can see the slab from the stands in Google maps and the track us unmistakeable. 5.
