History

The track was constructed in the late 1940s as a 0.375 mi (0.604 km) dirt track. In the early 1970s, the track was reconfigured into a 1/4 mile dirt track. In 1972, the track was paved into a 0.333 mi (0.536 km) asphalt oval. In 2004, the track was reconfigured into the currently used 0.375 mi (0.604 km) asphalt oval.

The K&N West Series (now the ARCA Menards Series) debuted at the track in 1967 with Scotty Cain winning the first race. After 9 years of no activity, the track returned in 1976 and raced actively until 1985 before being dropped from the schedule.

The track is owned by the Shasta District Fair & Event Center which mainly focuses on renting out the four primary event buildings for boating shows, weddings, vintage markets, art shows, and other city events.
