Tucson Rodeo Grounds - Cup Series Race Winners

The Tucson Rodeo Grounds, established in 1932 at 6th Avenue and Irvington Road, hosted a notable one-off NASCAR Grand National race on its half-mile dirt oval in 1955. While the rodeo grounds themselves have a rich history dating back to 1925, the racing history on-site was primarily a singular event, distinct from the nearby Tucson Speedway.
