Norfolk Speedway in Virginia was an active short dirt track for little more than a year during which time it held two NASCAR Grand National races and four Convertible events. On those occasions when NASCAR’s top stars visited, Billy Myers led a Mercury 1-2 on 22 August 1956 before Buck Baker’s Chevrolet lapped the field on 24 July 1957. It closed its doors soon after Gwyn Staley beat Bob Welborn by three seconds in the final Convertible race in October 1957.
