But there were a couple of other tracks in Prince Georges County including the Lanham Raceway which was an oval track located near the instersection Riverdale Road and Annapolis Road (Rte 450)where the Lowes Store now sits.
There was also the Vista Raceway which was further out 450 toward GlennDale Near Lottsford Vista road. I believe it featured motorcycle races in the 60s
There was also an auto track in Laurel near the famous horse track back in the 20s and a track in Upper Marlboro.
The Wheels of Speed site (http://www.wheelsofspeed.com/mdhist.html)
provides a list of historic Maryland auto racetracks
