Raceway Park (Illinois)
Raceway Park (1938–2000) was a quarter mile stock car race track located in Blue Island, Illinois, on 130th Street and Ashland Avenue between Western Avenue and Halsted Avenue, used for stock car races from the mid-1930s until 2000. In all advertising, it was billed as being located in Blue Island, Illinois, but was really located right across the border in the town of Calumet Park.
== History ==
Raceway Park had originally been created as a dog racing track, but in the early 1930s the state of Illinois made dog racing illegal. Harry Malone then led a group promoting the track as a midget car track. Raceway finally opened for competitive racing on September 24, 1938. The winner of the first race was Harry McQuinn, who eventually went on to compete in the Indianapolis 500. The track had changed management many times during the early 1940s. Art Folz and Wally Zale assumed the management position in 1940, but their management reign was cut short when Zale was killed in a car-train wreck in 1942. Then, World War II stopped all racing in America for the time being. Rudy Nichels started promoting the track after the war, but he reached only limited success. Track was demolished in the early 2000s and is now the site of the of a shopping center named the Raceway Park Center that houses an Ultra Foods, AJ Wright and Aldi Food Store among other businesses
