Built in 1948, Unity Raceway is Maine’s oldest track. It reopened in 2022 after a 4-year racing hiatus, with its surface restored to a dirt track after decades of asphalt.
The 75th Anniversary show is hosted by Dan Ayotte, race director, and features interviews, memories, historical photos, and cars. Among the interviews are Unity Raceway legend Norris Willetts, 2016 Maine Motorsports Hall of Famer; Steve Nelson, a ten-time Unity Champion, and 2015 Maine Motorsports Hall of Famer; world famous Unity Raceway announcer George Hale; Bob Knowles, promoter and owner of the Unity Raceway from 1960 to 1980; Ralph Mason, Unity Raceway owner since 1980, and current track promoter Joey Doyen.
