Unity Raceway Closed for 2008 Season

By admin April 8, 2008

Sad news for auto racing fans in Maine as the 60-year-old Unity Raceway has cancelled its 2008 season.  Travis Barrett’s Green-White-Checker blog has the  latest on the status of the 1/3 mile paved oval.

Located at the Common Ground County Fairgrounds, Unity Raceway started as a former horse track 1/2 mile dirt oval that operated through 1956.  A 1/3 mile dirt oval operated between 1957 and 1961, before it was paved for the 1962 season.  It has operated that way ever since, except for the 1980 season.
