The La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway is a semi-banked asphalt oval racetrack in West Salem, Wisconsin.[2] The outer track is 5/8 mile and the inner track is a 1/4 mile.[2] The speedway has progressive banking in the corners, from 5 degrees on the bottom to 11 degrees on the top. The track was built at the fairgrounds for La Crosse County. It used to host an event on the American Speed Association (ASA) and the ASA Late Model Series before the demise of the series. It currently hosts annual touring events on the ARCA Midwest Tour and Mid American Stock Car Series.[3] It hosts weekly stock car races which are sanctioned by the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series.[2] It was the first NASCAR-sanctioned race track in Wisconsin.[4]
