History Of The Steel Palace Minimize

Aerial_Media_Oswego_300.jpgThe Oswego Speedway, located in Oswego New York, was built in 1951 when original owners Harry, George and William Caruso converted the one time Wine Creek Horse Track into a 3/8 mile dirt auto racing facility. The track was paved during 1952 and remained a 3/8 mile track until 1961 when it was enlarged to its current 5/8 mile size. The Oswego Speedway has been a continuously run weekly race track since it opened in August of 1951. The track was sold in April of 2004 to former speedway supermodified driver, Track and Classic Champion, Steve Gioia Jr. and Pat Furlong, Sr. whose son Greg has won Championships in both the small bock and supermodified divisions at the speedway. The speedway has undergone vast capital improvements and renovations over the course of sixty years of existence and updates are constantly being made to keep it a state-of-the-art racing facility. It is mentioned in racing circles that the Oswego Speedway is the “Indy of the East” as no fewer than a dozen of our past and present competitors have competed at the famed “Brickyard” including two-time Indy 500 winner Gordon Johncock, along with former Budweiser International Classic winners Bentley Warren, Joe Gosek and Davey Hamilton.
