The track was also one of the first paved oval tracks in stock car racing, being built in 1947 by partners H. Clay Earles, Henry Lawrence, and Sam Rice, nearly a year before NASCAR was officially formed.HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 76 https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?001+ful+HJ76ER+pdf It is also the only race track that has been on the NASCAR circuit from its beginning in 1948.
