Since 1951, Fremont Speedway in Fremont, Ohio has been known as “The Track that Action Built,” with some of the best drivers having raced there. The Fremont Speedway Hall of Fame was established in 2009, fueled by the goal to honor the track’s more than 60-year history and enshrine the people who helped make Fremont Speedway what it is today. The public can tour the hall of fame to see plaques ded

icated to inducted individuals and historic photographs of the track’s history. As the only museum like this in the state, the public can sign up for Fremont Speedway Historical Club memberships to be part of the voting process on the hall of fame’s future classes. Come visit, sign up for a membership, or call us today for more information!

Floyd Slatter, 2019 HOF inductee and a pioneer in auto racing, was one of the four owners and mechanics on the #100 car that competed at the very first race at Fremont Speedway. Floyd and fellow Fremont Speedway Hall of Fame members Dick Willey, Ken “Red” Root and driver Johnny Auxter formed the team in 1950 and even journeyed to the beaches of Daytona to compete. That first car, legend has it, had a rock-filled pipe that weighed around 500 pounds and rims from old wagon wheels that Auxter was able to find. Floyd was happiest when he was elbows deep in oil and grease working on an engine and mechanical parts. He was a fixture at fellow Hall of Fame member Fritz Meyers’ Garage.

Scott Miller, 2021 HOF inductee, posted nine career wins at Fremont Speedway, all coming in the 305 sprint division, though he competed in 410 sprints for many years. Miller jokes he would have had many 410 sprint wins at Fremont if it “weren’t for Mark Keegan.” Miller was the track’s 305 rookie of the year and raced from the 1990s through the early 2000s. Miller won the Fremont Speedway 305 Invitational in 2003.

Earl Griffith, a 2012 HOF inductee, crewed for Hall of Famers like Herbie Robison and Harold McGilton, eventually taking his talents to open his own engine-building shop. Griff's Engines still operates today under Hall of Famer Gary Griffith. (Pictured R-L: Ron Boos, Herbie Robison, Earl Griffith)

Johnny Beaber, 2010 HOF inductee, started his racing career at 15 under a fake name to get around track rules at the time. Beaber's career took him all over the US, getting wins with the World of Outlaws and All Stars along the way. With more than 200 career wins, 24 of those at Fremont Speedway, he clinched championships at Tri-City Speedway, Mercer Raceway Park, Lernerville Speedway, Fremont Speedway, Limaland Speedway and Attica Raceway Park.

Art Ball, 2009 HOF inductee, scored 76 of his 301 wins at the Track That Action Built. He was a legend on the dirt track circuit for more than 50 years, competing in #01 cars at area tracks.

Ted Foster, 2020 HOF inductee, began supporting Fremont Speedway when he was just 13 years old, riding in the wrecker with his dad to the track. By the time Ted turned 16, he was running the family-owned wrecker weekly at the track. Ted and his father helped build Fremont Speedway, putting the poles in for the track guardrails. Ted helped out on the track’s ambulance crew, drove the track’s pace car, and even helped work the pit area for a couple of years. The Foster wrecker from Foster’s Auto Body called Fremont Speedway home for nearly 30 years.

Dave Hoover, 2020 HOF inductee, started racing in 1964 in the hobby stock division at Fremont Speedway. He drove sprint cars from 1968-70, driving for Gary Willey and Dick “Soup” Sabo. Dave drove a Buick-powered race car, and his first sprint win was Fremont Speedway’s mid-season championship night in 1969. Dave scored four feature wins during his career at Fremont Speedway.

Dave Marko, 2019 HOF inductee, raced a late model from 1979 to 1988 and scored over 100 feature wins in that time span, including 13 at Fremont Speedway. He won the late model track championship at Eldora Speedway five years straight and also recorded a championship at Oakshade Raceway in Wauseon, Ohio. Dave nearly scored a Fremont Speedway title in 1983, coming up just two points short of Ken Clark despite missing six events that year at the track. Dave scored some of late model racing’s biggest events, including the Johnny Appleseed Classic at Mansfield Speedway.
