 Shippensburg Speedway opened as a flat go kart track in 1985. |
|
 In 1988, they began running Winged Micro Sprints, eventually adding stock car racing to their program. |
|
 The track was closed during 1995, and when it reopened the following year it had been slightly enlarged, but was still only ARR certified at .190 miles. |

 This is a picture of how the track looked in 1988 during a Sunday afternoon Micro Sprint show. |

 They never had many seats, and most of those often remained empty. The track survived for 26 seasons, before closing in 2014. |
