All-American Speedway, Racetrack in Roseville, CA
All-American Speedway is a motorsport racing track in Roseville, California, built on an asphalt oval surface roughly a third of a mile long. The four turns are banked so that drivers can carry speed through the corners without losing momentum.
All American Speedway opened on May 29, 1955, as the Roseville Speedway, a quarter-mile dirt oval built with backing from the Roseville Firemen's Association at the Placer County Fairgrounds; Dick Queen won the first feature. It was paved in 1970 and renamed in honour of Roseville's All-America City title, and a 2007 reconfiguration reshaped the track now owned by Placer County.
The grandstands draw a loyal crowd of local racing fans who come out on weekends to watch competition from close range. The tight oval means spectators can follow the action across the entire track without losing sight of the cars.
The venue sits in a central part of Roseville and is easy to reach from main roads, with large parking areas nearby. Permanent restrooms and food stands are on site, which makes attending longer race events straightforward.
The track was built with about $3,000 raised by local businessmen and covered by the Roseville Firemen's Association, which requested it from the Placer County Fair board in February 1955. A test session ran on May 25, 1955, and Dick Queen won the first feature event four days later.
