Islip Speedway was a .2-mile (320-meter) oval race track in Islip, New York that opened in 1947 and closed in 1984. It is the smallest track ever to host NASCAR's Grand National Series (now the Sprint Cup Series). Islip Speedway hosted these races from 1964 to 1971. The first demolition derby took place at Islip Speedway in 1958; the idea came from Larry Mendelson, who worked at Islip. Islip was one of three auto race tracks on Long Island, along with Riverhead Raceway and Freeport Stadium (and a drag strip). The only auto racing track that remains on Long Island is Riverhead Raceway, after Islip closed down.
