Family businesses are difficult to operate.
In 1951 brothers Harry, Bill and George decided to build a race track. Little did anyone realize that the original dirt track would become one of the best known asphalt speedways in the nation and that 50 years later the Caruso name will still be prevalent. George, Doug and Romeo Caruso are the current proprietors of the speedway. It is a business and a project of love of auto racing that has kept the speedway in operation. The economic picture in Central New York has become extremely fuzzy in the past decade, folks are migrating south of the Mason-Dixon line and times are changing.
