 The Latrobe Speedway dates back to the 1960's. It replaced the nearby Greater Latrobe Speedway, which had closed at the end of 1965. |
|
 At one time it was also known as Schmuckers Speedway. The track was a short half-mile, certified by ARR as .465. |
|
 Latrobe Speedway closed at the end of the 1981 season, and was closed for 18 years before reopening for another run of stock car racing from 2000-2006. |
|
 The track is still there but no longer hosts stock car racing. Motorcycles and quads are featured on an infield motocross track. |

 This picture is from the earlier era of the speedway. I stopped by on a Sunday race night but only got the chance to look at the track, my travel partner having to be home for work on Sunday night. |
