Norwalk Dragway opened to the public in 1963 but lay dormant for much of the first ten years of its existence.
[1] In 1981, Norwalk hosted the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) World Nationals for the first time.
It continued to host this event up to the 2006 season and had become the IHRA's flagship drag racing facility by this time.
In 2007, Ohio-based automotive parts company Summit Racing Equipment purchased the naming rights to the facility.
