The Dayton Speedway was originally opened for its first official race on June 3 1934 and would later be purchased by Frank Funk in 1937 who quickly began converting the 5/8th-mile oval into a half-mile high-banked oval and was rumored to have buried old trolley cars to fill in the banking which was finished at the end of 1939. He added an “oil substance†to make the track as hard as pavement but on really hot days would end up getting soft and coating the cars and drivers. Funk had already built the first half-mile oval in the United States in Winchester IN. The race in June 1940 featured over 10000 spectators and featured Woody Woodford of Los Angeles CA Henry Schlosser of Cincinnati OH Jimmy Wilburn of Los Angeles CA Johnny DeCamp of Richmond IN “Duke†Dinsmore from Dayton OH Elbert Booker of Detroit OH Mike Salay of South Bend IN Johnnie Crone from Marysville IN and many others.
