Other tracks to host the Cup stars include Norwood Arena and Oxford Plains before NHIS joined the fold in 1993.

Very good Yankee racer! It was indeed Oct 12 1951 at the Thompson International Speedway that Neil Cole piloted the #52, 1950 Oldsmobile to victory in the 200 lap event. As a side note, the race was slowed by 1 caution for 3 laps.
