Skyline Raceway Motorsports Park is a three-eighths mile dirt oval raceway located in Central New York State.[1]
Buck Townsley built the Skyline Speedway on top of a mountain and opened it in 1962. The track continued operating with several different promoters through 1976 and then reopened for a single year in 1980. The facility lay dormant until Frank and Gene Payne brought it back to life for the 1988 racing season, headlining with the Late Model division.[2]
Former track champion Dean Catlin and his wife Donna took over operations in 2016, and then Brad Smith purchased the track in 2022.[3][4]
