The Midwest Motorsport Legend -
Meadowdale Raceways

The Meadowdale Racetrack had its inaugural race on September 14, 1958.

Many racing heroes of the '50s and '60s appeared at Meadowdale. Jim Jeffords, Lance Reventlow, Rodger Ward, Curtis Turner, Fred Lorenzen, Al Unser, Bobby Unser, Roger Penske, Harry Heuer, Jim Hall, Lloyd Ruby, Augie Pabst, Jim Rathmann and Mark Donohue were just a few of the drivers that raced at Meadowdale during its heyday.

Detailing the history of Meadowdale Raceways with text, news articles and photographs, this book will preserve the history of this once famous track nestled to this day, 35 miles west of Chicago, just off of Route 31 in Carpentersville, Illinois.
