The Sanair Superspeedway oval is triangular in shape, somewhat like
Pocono but with a more isosceles triangle approach compared to the PA
track's scalene (judging by the Wikipedia diagram and aerial photos, the
two back straights look the same length).

The facility has numerous tracks including a drag strip which hosted
big-time NHRA drag racing in the mid-1980s and a smaller short track
oval. The drag strip also makes up part of a road course with other
tracks for go-karts or motocross racing.

Correct parsing of this track's name is "Sanair Super Speedway".

What we now now as the Xfinity series raced here from '71 to '74 and
from '77 to '79. The two North Tour events held here in '79 were also
part of the NASCAR Late Model Sportsman Division and counted for points
for both series.

The first race of the short-lived Stock Car Connection series was held
here in 1987. The series aimed to bring the Midwestern American Speed
Association series, the Southern All-Pro Super Series, and the
Northeastern/Canadian American-Canadian Tour together to run the series'
largest races such as Sanair or the Nashville All-American 400 as a
united tour with a higher profile as it aimed to become North America's
premier short track stock car series. The first race, a 400-lapper, saw
ASA's Butch Miller best Ted Musgrave for the win here at Sanair.
Ultimately the series didn't pan out, the other tours fast lost interest
when it became apparent the ASA guys were going to dominate it, but
Sanair would host a second race in 1988 before the series split up at
the end of that season.

On Google Streetview the oval track is quite visible. There is still a
large old pressbox tower, but only a very small amount of bleachers. The
oval must not be used for major competitive events anymore.
