Sharon Speedway is a 3/8-mile dirt oval race track located in Hartford,
Ohio and named for the nearby city of Sharon, Pennsylvania. It opened in
1929, making it one of the oldest continuously running dirt ovals in the
United States.[1] The track is currently part-owned and operated by the
Blaney family, which includes NASCAR driver Dave Blaney. Blaney's
father, and former driver, Lou Blaney originally assisted in the
operation of the track. Lou Blaney died on January 25, 2009.[2]

World of Outlaws Late Model Series and even hosted a NASCAR Grand
National race in 1954. It was a 200-lap event in which Lee Petty held
off Buck Baker and Herb Thomas for the win. Rusty Wallace, Tom Sneva,
Tony Stewart, Lee Petty and Dave Blaney are among divers who have

Back in the 60's there was a shorter dirt track in the infield of the
larger track. The remains of the northern portion of the paved track
follows the track outline as it was in the days of the early 1954 cup race.
