Sunset Speedway

After a dispute with organizers of the Washington County Fair, a track was established at Banks' Sunset Park in 1986.^[4] The next year the track added bleachers for use during both races and demolition derbies.^[4] In the past the track has also been used for tractor pulls and combine demolition derbies.^[5][6] Mike McCann bought the track in July 1997, and over the next year added bleachers and converted the track to a clay surface.^[7]

In 2004, long-time racer Doug Walters purchased 40% of the track from McCann, and the two began to make more improvements such as permanent restrooms and better concession stands.^[8] The city council then questioned some of those improvements the next year as no permits had been obtained for the work.^[9] Owner Doug Walters died in 2008.^[10] A commercial for Intel was filmed at the speedway in July 2013 featuring monster trucks.^[11][12]
