01History
ARCA (then known as MARC) first raced at Salem Speedway in 1955, with Jack Harrison winning the inaugural race. Unfortunately, during this race, Ray Duhigg was killed when his car flew out of the track in turn 1. From 1955 to 1979, the track became a staple on the ARCA schedule, though it was left off of the series schedule in 1958, 1960, 1961, and 1978. From 1968 to 1974, ARCA held a 500-lap event at the track, named the Salem 500. The event was briefly revived in 1988 and 1989.
After 1979, the series did not race at the track from 1980 to 1986. The track held one ARCA race in 1987, two in 1988 and one in 1989. The series did not race at the track again in 1990 and 1991. The track returned to the series' schedule in 1992.
From 1996 to 2019, the track had two ARCA races, one in the spring and one in the fall. In 2020, the fall race was taken off the schedule and the series was only scheduled to race there in the spring. However, the race was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The track returned to the ARCA schedule in 2021 with one race in the fall. In 2024, the track's one race was moved from the fall to the summer.
