Picture

Forrest Rogers

      Forrest Rogers is the founder and first promoter of Grandview Speedway. Forrest Rogers built Grandview Speedway on his 105 acre farm property. After a racing club’s proposal to build a .250-mile high banked paved oval on the site fell through, Rogers carved out the .333-mile high-banked clay track and opened it on August 11, 1963. Less than three years later, Rogers died suddenly of heart attack. His son Bruce Rogers eventually became the track owner.
 
     ​​Today Grandview Speedway is one of the jewels of the Pennsylvania racing scene. Over the years, the track has attracted and grown a loyal fan base and many of the areas top dirt track drivers. ​​
