Beltsville Speedway This is all that's
left of the late Beltsville Speedway.....the entrance to pit road. Located
on Springfield Road just off of Powder Mill Road and a stone's throw from
the Baltimore Washington Parkway stood Beltsville Speedway. |

11.24.11 | Doug B. | I was privy to the demise of the once great Beltsville Speedway. I started going with my dad as an 8 year old kid in '69 right through to the night that the second turn bleachers collapsed (we were sitting in the first turn). I have great memories of the locals (Reds Kagle, Bobby Ballentine, Jimmy Mairs, Danny Collins, Wes Troupe, Joe Westerman, Charlie Wierman, etc.) and the invading Richmond herd (Sonny Hutchins, Ray Hendrick, Ted Hairfield, etc.) battling Friday nights. Also Harry Gant winning the National Boh 200 in a '57 Chevy! Sad to see it go. = |
