The track was built by Benny Corbin and opened in 1968 as a 1/4 mile dirt oval, operating through 1969.

[1] The NASCAR Southeast Series had run nine races in the complex between 1991 and 1998, the first eight events were on the 1/2 mile paved track.

The last event, in 1998, was on the 3/8 mile recently paved oval but since it was converted back into dirt for 1999, the track was removed from Southeast schedule.

Murphy sold the racetrack in 2005 to DIRT Motorsports, later renamed the "World Racing Group".

From 1989 until 1992, the track hosted a NASCAR Busch Series race on the 1/2 mile layout.
