Westport Stadium - Baltimore, MD.
1951 – 1963  

Originally built as a baseball stadium for the Negro League “Baltimore Elite Giants” in 1950, the stadium quickly introduced auto racing in 1951 after the team left for Nashville. It was located on Old Annapolis Road between the Baltimore-Washington Parkway and Patapsco Ave, on the southwest side of Baltimore.

A 1/5-mile dirt oval was laid out around the baseball diamond with telephone poles used as an inner guardrail. The track was sanctioned by NASCAR for its entire run and was promoted by Ed Otto and Bill Heiserman.  

Sportsman-modified stock cars were the main class with hobby cars added in 1956. Special events included NASCAR short track late models, NASCAR & AAA midgets and All Star Circuit of Champions Convertible Late Models.

 The track closed in august of 1963 and the site was demolished.
