The Izzo family is proud of the great history that has lead to the evolution of the LaSalle Speedway. The current 1/4-mile, high-banked clay oval is not the first track to occupy the grounds. In 1947, a 1/5-mile oval dirt track called the “Tri-City Speedway” operated at the facility. During the 1950's & 1960's, the facility was used as an outdoor drive-in theater.
In 1992, the Izzo family opened the LaSalle Speedway. Over a decade of improvements and renovations have been done to the facility. The racing surface has received many loads of new clay, while skyboxes were added and grandstands were expanded.
