Anderson Speedway
History
Constructed in 1948, historic
Anderson Speedway is celebrating its 62nd consecutive year of racing in 2009. Situated on over 35
acres near downtown Anderson, the Speedway presents some of the most exciting
racing action you will find anywhere.
The quarter mile, asphalt track features 17 degree banking in the corners, which
creates speeds unique to most short tracks. A record 10.344 second lap was run
by Dave Steele in May of 2009 in a winged sprint car. Drivers have said of driving at
the Speedway, Its like flying a jet airplane in a gymnasium.
 The
Speedway boasts 10,000 seats situated 360 degrees around the track, which
insures a good view from any location. VIP luxury suites in turn one provide a
great view and venue for corporate outings and parties.
Anderson Speedway is nationally recognized for the annual Pay Less Little 500
each Memorial Day weekend. 33 sprint cars start in 11 colorful rows of three in
this annual 500-lap test of man and machine the night before the Indianapolis
500. The Little 500 trophy is a prize cherished by race drivers worldwide.
 In
addition to the weekly divisions of Street Stocks, Figure 8s,
Legends and stock cars, Anderson Speedway plays host to several national
sanctioning bodies. In 1998, Anderson Speedway was awarded the
USAC Promoter of the Year Award and in 1999 received the National Speed Sport
News Short Track Event of the Year Award for the Pay Less Little 500.
Anderson Speedway prides itself in providing good, wholesome family
entertainment at a reasonable cost. Fans of all ages fill the track at each
event.
Racing runs from April to October each Saturday night and each Friday night from
May through August.
