Nazareth Speedway
Motor Sport Magazine
|January 2026
Nazareth, in eastern Pennsylvania, is synonymous with American motor racing, the town steeped in the history of the sport. Mario Andretti still lives there and when he won the Indy 500 in May 1969 the street where he lived at the time was renamed Victory Lane. Two months later he won the USAC Dirt Champ car race at the Nazareth Speedway.

The town is all about horsepower, but not just the cars. The track was originally for horse racing but in the early 1900s a new half-mile dirt oval was created on the edge of town and the folk with cars came for a sport known as Auto Polo.
