Evans Mills Raceway Park is a 3/8-mile asphalt oval raceway located on U.S. Route 11 just outside of Evans Mills, New York.
Midway through 1965 hall of fame racer Bob Zeigler sold his stock car, purchased land, formed a corporation with his brother Dick and cousin Karl John, and began building a racetrack in Evans Mills, New York.[1][2]
The facility opened in 1967 as the Evans Mills Speedway with a dirt surface, but was paved to start the 1968 racing season.[3] The Zeiglers retired from racing in 1979, after which several different promotors were involved with the site. Lee and Peggy Gill purchased the former Evans Mills Speedway in December 2018 and rebranded it as the Evans Mills Raceway Park.[4]
