5 Mile Point Speedway To Honor Track Founders And Former Drivers

As I've said many times, it's so nice to have fairs, festivals, and outdoor concerts back. Do you know what else I need to include??? Outdoor events like stock car racing. There are many race tracks to choose from but including Five Mile Point Speedway.

Last Saturday was a full racing program featuring the Big Block/Small Block Modifieds. However, if you could only go to the track once this summer, I recommend next Saturday, July 31st when they will honor their track founders.

57th Heath Memorial at Five Mile Point Speedway

Five Mile Point Speedway will honor their track founders, Irving and Anna Heath with the 57th Heath Memorial. The Heaths built the speedway in 1951 and it's been in operation ever since.

Mr. Heath passed away in 1965 and his wife Anna remained the owner until 2005 when their grandson Andrew Harpell took over. Mrs. Heath passed away before the 2005 racing season.

Also making its return on July 31st is the annual Former Racer's Reunion. Every year, former drivers from all over the United States return for this event. All the former racers will be recognized and introduced at the track.
