Does anyone remember a track in Marion, Illinois called Williamson County Speedway?
I was told there was a 3/8 mile track on the east side of town. Possibly at the fairgrounds that shut down in the late 1980's.
I was also told that the track was on the west side of town, south of rte 13 that had an old coupe above the entrance to the track. I was told that track was 3/8 mile and closed in the late 1980's and was just bulldozed within the past couple of years.
I've seen an aerial view of a track on the east side of town that looks like it could be a fairgrounds.
Can anyone share ANY info on either of these tracks? Did both tracks actually host stock car racing? When did they close? And more importantly why did they close?
Also, is the track on the east side of town still there? Is there any chance it could ever reopen?
Thanks in advance for ANY info!
