It opened in 1939, and hosted Championship Car races from 1949 to 1959 named the "Indianapolis Sweepstakes", contested by a small field of the best Champ Car racers. Many notable drivers have raced here, including A. J. Foyt and Mario Andretti. The track is still in operation today, with racing every Friday, almost every Saturday and many special events. One of these special events is the Williams Grove National Open for sprint cars sanctioned by the World of Outlaws racing series. 2.

The park began as a picnic area in 1850 before it got popular and started adding rides in 1928. It's best known attraction was a large wooden roller coaster called The Cyclone. The park shut down in 2005 when the family that owned both it and the track decided to focus all its attention on the speedway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
