Riverside International Speedway (West Memphis, Arkansas)


Not to be confused with the defunct Riverside International Raceway in Moreno Valley, California, or the Riverside International Speedway in Nova Scotia.
The Riverside International Speedway is an automobile racing facility at 151 Legion Road in West Memphis, Arkansas. Its facilities consist of a clay oval with banked corners, bleacher seating on both straightaways. Amenities include a concession stand. The track was built in 1950 and opened June 10 of that year at an estimated cost of $150,000 by C L Montgomery, originally to showcase midget car racing. It is the oldest surviving dirt track in the Memphis area, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
