Anderson Speedway is a high-banked quarter-mile oval located in Anderson, IN, 34 miles northeast of Indianapolis. The facility was built in 1948 under the name Sun Valley Speedway by Joe Helpling, who intended to build a bowling alley and a recreation center on the property but was convinced by two city councilmen to build a racetrack instead.
Anderson Speedway plays host to two marquee races for two different disciplines, the Redbud 400 for Super Late Models and the Little 500 for Non-Wing Sprint Cars. The Little 500 was contested on Memorial Day weekend, won by Jake Trainor.
The original American Speed Association was formed in 1968 in nearby Pendelton, IN by Rex and Becky Robbins. While the inaugural season for ASA wasn’t contested until 1973, the first-ever race sanctioned by ASA was held on July 31, 1968 at Anderson. Dave Sorg won that race, followed by LJ Lines and Denny Nyari.
