The Death & Rebirth of Columbia Speedway | S1ap on Location: Episode 5

Having hosted NASCAR Cup Series races from 1951 until 1971, Columbia Speedway shut its doors in 1975 following one final late model race. It was left to rot in Cayce, SC until one local name Robbie Solesbee decided to save the speedway himself. Initially he and a few friends were going to hack at the over growth with some chainsaws a little bit at a time, but once the word go out, hundreds of volunteers showed up and the city got involved and transformed the abandoned track into what it is today: preserved pretty much as it was on that last day in 1975.
