Speed Sport’s survey was conducted in late February through early March with the response being twice that received during last year’s poll and 10 times  greater than the inaugural poll in 2012.

For the fourth year running Rossburg, Ohio’s Eldora Speedway, owned by motorsports star Tony Stewart, claimed the top rating with Virginia International Raceway, Iowa’s Knoxville Raceway, Oswego Speedway, and Wisconsin’s Road America completing the top five positions in the poll.

Once again, Oswego Speedway was voted as the top asphalt oval in Speed Sport’s poll with Knoxville and Eldora being dirt ovals and both VIR and Road America, road courses.

“We couldn’t be more pleased to once again be included in the top five of this year’s Speed Sport, My Favorite Track poll,” said Oswego Speedway PR director, Dan Kapuscinski. “This year’s poll response was the largest ever, so to remain in the top five and join such esteemed facilities like Eldora, Knoxville, VIR, and Road America in this honor, is fantastic. None of this would be possible without our amazing fans across the country that care so much about our facility and our sport of Supermodified racing.”

Kokomo Speedway in Indiana ranked sixth overall with Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Pennsylvania’s Williams Grove Speedway tying for seventh ahead of Missouri’s Lucas Oil Speedway, and New Jersey Motorsports Park in the top ten.
