Fleury Family Speedway/Claremont Speedway/Twin State Speedway -
was started in 1947 by Arthur Fleury, father of
current owner Dennis Fleury. Arthur returned from Active duty with the
Army in Texas with the idea to start a race track. The track was his
fathers farmland, or should we say his potato patch. As the racing grew
and he didn't have the time needed to devote to it, a group of racers started a
club called the Jalopy Association consisting of Remy Gendron, Harold Foisy,
Isador Fleury, Dave Harris and Walt Ruffle. The track was a dirt track.
In the mid 1960's Sonny Fleury, Arthur's brother took over the track and ran it
from the mid 1960's to 1980. IN 1980 CODA (Claremont Owners Drivers
Association) was formed and ran the track up to 1985, at that time it was turned
back over to Sonny, which he continued to run the track. In the early
1970's Sonny paved the track and ran it up to his death in 1993. After his
death his daughter Sherrie Fleury and her husband James Laneau ran it up to
2004 when it was purchased by Dennis Fleury, nephew to Sonny Fleury, and
son of Arthur Fleury. Dennis purchased the track with only one thing on his
mind--to make the short track racing in Claremont a place to be. In 2005
the track was named in the area as one of the "Top 10 Sports Stories in 2005" as
listed in the Eagle Times.
The 2012 Racing Season is
taking shape to be one for the record books. With the largest weekly payouts in
the area and a
growing points fund, Twin State Speedway is on the schedule of many area race
teams.
History Facts: This race track
was one of Ken Squires first announcing jobs, he was just a kid at the time and
brought a tape to Arthur Fleury to listen to, and acquired the position
as announcer for the track. The race track produced a NASCAR Grand Champion
in 2002, Peter
Daniels.
