In 1963 a crowd of 4,000 in attendance saw Ned Jarrett take his Burton Robinson #11 Ford to victory lane over Richard Petty on April 4, 1963.

On August 15, 1965 Dick Hutcherson won the 200 lap event with a 2.75 second lead over David Pearson.

November 13, 1966, saw Richard Petty win at the half mile oval with an average speed of 84.112.

After the race, in the movie a young Southern MotoRacing sales girl (Joy Tollison Agner) can be seen kissing Richard Petty and jumping up and down in excitement.

Later that year on October 5, 1968, David Pearson won over Bobby Allison in his Holman Moody-owned Ford.

On March 16, 1969, David Pearson won the first of two events at the track during this last season of racing.

He won over Richard Petty with Bobby Isaac finishing third after starting on the pole with a record lap of 86.901 mph (139.854 km/h).

This event was the second race of the 1964 season for the Grand National Division of NASCAR, later evolving into the present-day Cup Series.

Glenn "Fireball" Roberts was the winner of the "Augusta 510" and he would die later that season as the result of burns suffered at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Six of the top seven finishers would lose their lives before the next racing season: Glenn "Fireball" Roberts, Dave MacDonald, Joe Weatherly, Billy Wade, Larry Thomas, and Jimmy Pardue; the seventh driver was Ned Jarrett.

Ken Miles and Dave MacDonald finished 1–2 in Cobra Roadsters in the afternoon race.

In 2001, the Augusta International Raceway Preservation Society (AIRPS), a 501c3 non profit, was formed to document the former Augusta International Speedway complex and work with local officials to develop the former 8-track racing complex into Diamond Lakes Regional Park.
