A newspaper ad for the track during its heyday:

Pine Bowl Speedway opened in 1948 as a 3/10 mile dirt oval. For 1949, paving was planned. Due to problems with the paving machine, only the corners were paved (by hand) for the 1949 season. The track was completely paved for the 1950 season. Racing ended in 1965. A small number of unadvertised races were held in 1966.

The years of operation given in America\'s Speedways appear to be off by two.

This address is fabricated to mark the end of the road as it exists today. In the 60s, this road continued on for a short distance to the track; it on private property today and I have not yet identified the owner in order to gain permission to visit the old track, which is reportedly still back there. (This is another defunct track which isn\'t all that far from the home of webmaster@na-motorsports.com).
