 DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Much – almost everything – has changed since Joe Lee Johnson spent 5-1/2 hours behind the wheel of his Chevrolet en route to victory in 1960’s inaugural World 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Now the Coca-Cola 600, a 600-mile, 400-lap marathon, is as much about speed as endurance.

It’s just a different kind of endurance.

 SALEM, Ind. - Since 1950 the third Saturday in May has been designated as Armed Forces Day in honor of Americans serving in the U.S. military.  

Salem Speedway will offer a special salute to our nation’s military personnel as part of the upcoming Casey’s General Store Spring Speed Fest presented by Salem True Value Hardware.

 SALEM, Ind. – One of the biggest AutoCross events in the Midwest is set for this Saturday at Salem Speedway, as upwards of 100 plus cars are expected for the inaugural “Battle at the Banks” 

The $1,000 to win event, with a guaranteed payoff to the top 16 participants, will be contested on a course utilizing both the infield short-track and the famed high banks.

 SALEM, Ind. – Short-track roots are calling.  The grand ole Speedway awaits.  And at no other place is the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards more rooted than Salem Speedway where the series has been a staple for more than 50 years.
