Today, I took Lulu to the Occoneechee Speedway. I visited the site in 2022 and thought it would be a good walk, although it was slow, as Lulu needed to sniff most of the way.
The Occoneechee Speedway Trail is approximately 1/3 a mile from the speedway. The original track was a half-mile horse track built by Julian S. Carr for Occoneechee Farms. It was later expanded and used by NASCAR. Four miles of trail take you along the banks of the Eno River, where you’ll walk around the only surviving dirt speedway from NASCAR’s inaugural 1949 season. The 1-mile oval Occoneechee/Orange Speedway was active from 1948-68.

Overall, it was another good day with a relaxing walk and sightseeing.
Carry on my friends, carry on!
