Near the intersection of Sugar Creek Road and Tryon Street lies the ghostly remains of Charlotte, NC's Southern States Fairgrounds Speedway. New development is underway, the old footprint is just visible.

I think that you are wrong. The place you show is near Eastway Drive, just south of the railway and is called "Eastway Park". In the picture I show you here, the oval is not there until 1971 (no trace of a racing track until 1968). The Southern States Fairgrounds was instead on east side of East Sugar Creek Road, just 250 yard south from North Tyron Street. The track was there in 1961 and seems to be abandoned in 1965. No trace of the track in 1968. That view is similar to 2012 one. The place of the track is now a huge parking lot for a supermarket.
Thanks Perry.
