Located 10 miles south of Newark, right off the New Jersey Turnpike, the Linden Airport and its runways hosted motorsports events from 1949 to 1954 and its only Grand National race on June 13, 1954. Eager to attract a full field, NASCAR lifted its family sedan limitations and allowed sports car to enter the race. The two-mile track incorporated sections of all four runways, creating seven turns, including two hairpins, one being particularly dicey at the end of the airport's longest two-runway "V". Al Keller of Buffalo, New York, won the race, his second win of the season and the final of his brief NASCAR career.

Anxious to bring excitement back to Daytona Beach after land speed record attempts moved west into the desert, local organizers devised a beach-road course that incorporated both the hard-packed sand of the World's Most Famous Beach and the rough-and-rumble two-lane Highway A-1-A. They were connected by a pair of too-tight turns that ran onto and off of the beach, two miles apart. Some version of that course hosted racing for more than a decade before NASCAR was founded in 1947. Big Bill France, who had raced on the beach, was in charge and took on the challenge of looking after nearly 40 competitors, while also watching for high tide (it would eat the cars), seagulls (they would attack the cars) and fans trying to sneak in over the dunes without paying (he placed "Beware snakes!" signs in those dunes). Meanwhile, fans in the makeshift grandstands had to look out for flying cars, many of which ended the day stacked up like kindling, having carried too much speed and tumbling over the sandy high-banked turns.
