Morehead City track


Historic Speedways and Ghost Tracks

The best I can tell the Morehead City Speedway opened on June 19, 1955. The winner the first week was Billy Myers. They raced every Sunday to August 7th. There was only a total of 7, or 8 weekly races. Winners were Billy Myers (2 times), Bill Cooper (3 times), Emmett Hare, and Fireball Roberts 1 time each. I haven't been able to find a winner on July 31st which may have been rained out. Hurricane Connie came thru on August 12, and may have destroyed the track. I can find no information on the track after August 7th, 1955. If anyone has information on this track please post it.
