Twin City Speedway - Kannapolis, North Carolina

I don't have anything but memories of this track. I never attended a race there. I only visited it one time and that was long after racing had ceased there. It was a small (3/8 or 1/3 mile) dirt oval outside Kannapolis, North Carolina.

Named Twin City because of its location between Concord and Kannapolis it operated in the middle -late 60s. I don't remember why it closed. I do remember that the legend was that Ralph Earnhardt taught Heyward Plyler the fine art of dirt tracking there. And I think the biggest class they ran was 6 cylinder cars. No V8s, I guess because of the size of the track.

An aerial view of the Twin City location from the mid 70s. Racing had stopped by then, but you could still see the layout.

If you have memories, photos, or anything from Twin City Speedway, please think of sharing them so others can remember.
