Greenville-Pickens Speedway opened as a 1/2 mile dirt oval in 1940, shutting down the next year for WWII. It reopened on July 4th, 1946. In 1951 it became a regular stop on the NASCAR Grand National tour (this is the series known today as the Nextel Cup.) It did not operate in 1953, and then continued as a dirt track through 1969. The track was paved by April, 1970. The Grand National tour made its last visit to Greenville-Pickens Speedway in 1971.
