Closed in 2005 to make way for housing.

This track operated under many names through the years in addition to
the Silver State title from its NASCAR days including T-Car Speedway,
Tahoe-Carson Speedway and finally Champion Motor Speedway; it's last
name before closing. While the track shut down in 2005 the land where it
stands has yet to be fully redeveloped; a housing complex has been built
alongside it (on "Race Track Road") but the track was "saved" when the
2008 financial crisis wiped out any further development on the Schultz
Creek project that took over the area.

Since it wasn't demolished the track sat abandoned with local
troublemakers breaking in vandalizing all of it. Pavement was ripped up,
debris strewn everywhere, everything wound up covered in graffiti, and
much of the press box and grandstand collapsed or was torn down. A
mobile home next to the track was also destroyed to an incredible
degree. The land was cleaned up in 2009, apparently after a bank may
have taken over the property, with all of the heavily vandalized areas
being torn down. Today nothing remains here but the track surface which
has been left to rot as nature slowly reclaims it.
