Wellsville Raceway

Wellsville Raceway was located on the former Wellsville Driving Park fairgrounds. A group of 10 investors formed the Wellsville Speedway, Inc. in 1950, and took possession of the old fairgrounds.^[1] The first auto race was held August 6, reportedly to a crowd of 4,500 spectators and sanctioned by the Atlantic Stock Car Racing Association.^[2]

The raceway was one of a series of venues in the Twin Tiers region of New York and Pennsylvania where drivers began their careers before becoming known on the state and national scene.^[3][4]

The racetrack shut down after the 1954 season, and the land was repurposed for what is now the Wellsville School complex.^[1]
