Champion Speedway began in 1975. It immediately became an entertainment star with its "Sunday Night Speedway" program attracting thousands of spectators weekly. The facility boomed for a ten year period but unfortunately, went through a traumatic period where it closed twice over the next decade due to ownership and promoter changes, and legal problems. since coming back to life in 1997, thanks to JBR, it has blossomed again.
