Buffalo Civic Stadium - Cup Series Race Winners

The stadium was built on the East Side of Buffalo for $3 million as a Works Progress Administration project in 1937. A quarter-mile cinder oval race track was added to the interior perimeter of the venue in 1940 for auto racing. Both midget car racing and stock car racing were popular at the venue, attracting NASCAR events in 1956 and 1958. Because of the small size of the track, drivers were forced to leave the venue to make pit stops at nearby Masten Armory.
