History

The raceway opened Template:Years or months ago in 1974,[2][3] when investors produced more than two million dollars to build the facility.[4][5][6]

Questionable management resulted in a lawsuit against president and operator Orville Moe,[7][8][9] and bankruptcy hearings.[10][11] Moe was eventually fired in June 2006.[12][13][14] The track was sold as of April 10, 2008, purchased by the county,[15][16] and renamed "Spokane County Raceway."

The operator in 2009 was Bucky Austin of Austin Motorsports Management,[17] which had a 25-year contract,[18] but was terminated after less than one year due to mismanagement.[19][20]

The track then was operated by Charlie Allen and Ron Hodgson; Allen had run the Firebird International Raceway in Arizona since 1983, and Hodgson was part owner of the Castrol Raceway in Edmonton, Alberta.[20] In February 2012, Allen was replaced by Spokane local Craig Smith, originally of Odessa, a one-time successful world champion dragster.[21] In May 2021, it was announced that Spokane County had accepted an offer to sell the raceway for $6.1 million dollars to the Kalispel Tribe of Indians.[22]
