Today in History……June 19, 1915 Chicago Speedway Park . Indy/Championship car racing first appeared in the Chicago area in 1914-1915 at Galesburg District Fairgrounds. Both races were 100 laps around the 1-mile dirt oval. AAA held races at Speedway Park, a 2-mile board track in nearby Maywood, Illinois. The first such race was a 500-mile event in 1915. Subsequent races ranged from 10-300 miles, and the final race was held in 1918. The track was eventually demolished, and the Edward Hines Veterans Hospital now stands on its former location.
