Spoon River Speedway held it's first race on April 28th, 1984. Three classes of race cars were raced, Late Model, Pro Street and Street Stock. Roger Long was the first Late Model driver to win the Trophy Dash and Heat Race, while Jeff McKay won the first Feature. The Pro Street Feature went to Dick Trout and the Street Stock Feature winner was Steve Herman.

Since then, over 1500 different named drivers have raced at our track. We now average over 90 race cars per event, with 142 being our largest car count for one event. Classes now consist of Late Model, Modified, Emod, Pro Street, Hobo and Truck.
The last Feature winner of the Millennium, was Brad Denney. (see pictures below)

Morey Denney, driver of Sportsman Car # 59 was the first driver to go around the new track in a race car.
