Originally known as the Stafford Springs Agricultural Park, the facility was used as a half-mile horse racing facility up to the end of World War II when it switched to automobile racing. The facility became a NASCAR track in 1959 as a dirt track, under the ownership of Rockville auto dealer Mal Barlow. It was purchased by the Arute brothers, Chuck and Jack Arute in 1967, and later paved. Jack's son Mark Arute continues to own and manage the track.[1] Notable drivers
