Entry Date: - 10/15/2008 - Garrett Pierce - Just a note, Johnny Logan passed away a few weeks ago. We''ve lost another one of our Hall of Famers. Condolances to his family and friends. My dad watched him race for years back in the old days along with the Joncocks and Sam Sessions. R.I.P.
Entry Date: - 1/18/2008 - Randy - from my research:
Galesburg Speedway opened in 1947 as a dirt track.
Entry Date: - 11/26/2003 - Web - In the 1940’s this little plot of land became known as the Galesburg Speedway. The 2003 season marks the 56th year of operation. The Galesburg Speedway has its sites set on the future. Better safety, and promoting good will in the racing community, the surrounding area, and bringing prosperity to all concerned. Galesburg Speedway has been offering Southwest Michigan with some of the finest and most action packed racing for fifty-six years. As the sport of auto racing continues to grow, Galesburg Speedway is still bringing the most exciting racing that has ever been seen.
Galesburg Speedway has always been the family track and it still remains that way. The Beebe Family built the speedway in 1947 as a dirt track. It then went on through a few families until 1998 when the Warning Family took over ownership from The Bloomfield Family. The track owner Ralph Warning has been around racing his whole life, and has always dreamed of owning a racetrack. Ralph grew up in the Otsego area as he helped the VanSparentack’s, Martin’s, Harrington’s, William’s and Blanchard’s on their racers and raced himself in 1976. Worked for Tri-Sac as a Race Director when they were a sanction in the Midwest in the mid 1970’s. Ralph has been in business for himself for 25 years. He has 4 children, oldest daughter Jeana Smith, twin daughters Lisa Magierka & Lori Warning-Head and son Ryan Warning and 5 Grandchildren, Elizabeth, Tyler and Joshua Smith, Mackenzie Warning-Couch and Alexis Warning. All four children were raised around racing and the daughters have followed racing very closely as their brother Ryan raced for 5 years at Kalamazoo Speedway and 1 year at M-40 Motor sports Arena until giving it up to take over some of the responsibilities with Dad.
