Re: Cortland Fairgrounds Speedway (Cortland Co. Fairgrounds)
I knew that they raced open wheel events like sprint cars and midgets there, but I never knew they raced stock cars. Doing some research it looks like stock cars were tried in 1950. Stebbins Speedways was Walter C. Stebbins, the promoter who also put on stock car, midget and big car races at Lockport and Honesdale PA, too.
One of the last races run at the Cortland Fairgrounds, before it was torn down, was on July 4, 1953 – a URC sprint car show won by Steve Yannigan. URC raced that afternoon at Shangri-la then towed up to Cortland for the night race.
