The Action Track




The Action Track is a popular dirt-racing track in Terre Haute. There have been many professional race car drivers such as Jeff Gordon, Pancho Carter, Mario Andretti and Tony Stewart. The track was designed originally for horse racing back when it first opened in 1952. Currently its used for quarter midget association and drag racing. Anton “Tony” Hulman leased the land for the races. The track was operated by the Fraternal Order of Police for its first 20 years. This is a mainstay in Terre Haute due to the fact that it has been around for so many years and it’s something different and exciting for people to attend.
