{"product_id":"blue-islands-raceway-park-stan-kalwasinski-9781531651336","title":"Blue Island's Raceway Park","description":"On September 24, 1938, Raceway Park officially opened its doors, and the track remained open for over 60 years. The first race was won by Harry McQuinn, who went on to compete in the Indianapolis 500 and become the chief pit steward of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In 1948, Raceway Park added stock car races to its regular program, and the track became a popular entertainment venue throughout the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s as thousands of Chicagoans filled the stands. The track held its last race in 2000 and was torn down the following year. Although Raceway Park is now a part of history, the \"World's Busiest Track\" is still in the hearts and minds of many Chicagoland race fans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stan Kalwasinski, Samuel Beck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 153165133X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531651336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Stan Kalwasinski","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43996308046079,"sku":"9781531651336","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34e338e1-85e6-4887-a212-2ad6c6127998.jpg?v=1683340938","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blue-islands-raceway-park-stan-kalwasinski-9781531651336","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
