Speedway Timeline 1957-2007

Thank you to all the drivers and fans who have been a part of the history of the LaCrosse InterState/ LaCrosse Fairgrounds Speedway. This track has seen some of the biggest names in American racing as well as hundreds we most of us can’t remember. Every effort has been taken to insure the accuracy of this timeline. Time and space did not allow me to put in every ones first win, I tried to get a lot of them. Congratulations to all winners through the years. You are all my heroes. Enjoy this trip through time. I hope that it triggers some memories and some great story telling.
