take a look at:

1.12 Miles Southeast
Of Upper Marlboro, MD
In the photo, the large oval SW of the intersection of 4 and 301 is the
horse track. The small oval SE of the intersection is the stock car oval at
Marlboro speedway. The road circuit used 3/4 of the speedway oval and is
still visible. You can see the boot, and the rest of the road circuit. I
can see the turn where Jackie Stewart used to lift a wheel with the Lotus
Cortina.
