New Asheville Speedway - Cup Series Race Winners

The Asheville Weaverville Speedway near Weaverville, North Carolina was a raceway for NASCAR races in both the Grand National and Winston Cup Series eras. From 1951 to 1969. As a dirt oval track, the speedway helped serve its purpose during the dirt-dominated formative years of NASCAR's premier series. The track was paved in 1957. An anti-noise ordinance was used to shut down the track after years of racing; this fight was staged as early as the 1970 racing season when a group of citizens petitioned their city council to shut down the track.
