Track Information

Terre Haute Action Track (also The Action Track) is a half-mile dirt racetrack located at the Vigo County, Indiana, fairgrounds on U.S. Route 41 along the south side of Terre Haute, Indiana. The track hosts annual United States Automobile Club (USAC) midget car, sprint car and Silver Crown events. Notable drivers that have competed at the track include A. J. Foyt, Jeff Gordon, Parnelli Jones, and Tony Stewart.[1] The track has held events sanctioned by USAC, its predecessor American Automobile Association (AAA), and the World of Outlaws.

The track opened on June 15, 1952.[3] It closed for a short period beginning in 1987 and reopened in 1990.[3] It closed again in May 2007 for the rest of the season after it lost its race card because it broke a local curfew.[4] The promoter had to stop the event early.[2] As of the start of the 2008 season, Rich Vogler's 13 feature wins is the most in track history.[5]
