Today, we are talking about a track from back home in the Lehigh Valley. Only about an hour down the turnpike from where I grew up in Pennsylvania. We are talking about the Nazareth Speedway and its motorsports history up until it closed which included both the IndyCar Series and NASCAR until its closure in 2004. There is a lot of history to discuss in this debut episode.

The Abandoned Nazareth Speedway Part 2 (Episode 2)

Motorsports and racing of many kinds have a giant history both here at home in the United States and abroad. Sadly, history hasn't always been as kind to the facilities that helped make that history and grow the sport. The ghosts of the past are littered around the country as relics of that history. We at Racing with Jesse Rucinski love to discuss these tracks amongst ourselves. We talk about how many tracks need the help and ways that can help to save more tracks from becoming abandoned. This is our way to share the history of so many of these tracks and explain what made the sport we love.
