Monroe County Fairgrounds - Cup Series Race Winners

On the original fairgrounds between 1950 and 1958, a one-half mile clay oval on the premises annually hosted Grand National Series (now NASCAR Cup) races. The NASCAR Sportsman Division competed on a weekly basis throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, eventually appearing only during the annual fair. The last auto race at the venue was sponsored by the Super DIRT Series during the 1981 fair.
