History

Like all of the tracks in the United States, it closed during the World War II years (1941–1945) and re-opened in 1946. Port Royal Speedway hosts a weekly schedule of local Sprint Car, Late Model, and Pro-Stock dirt track racing, and is nicknamed "The Speed Palace". Several national touring series organizations visit the track during the racing season, including the World of Outlaws Late Model Series[1] and the All Star Circuit of Champions.[2] Port Royal Speedway is the host of the Juniata County Fair.
