January 4, 2009 - NASCAR legend James Hylton and Indy Car legend Wally Dallenbach, Sr will appear at the Motorsport 2009 exhibition at Atlantic City's Convention City on January 16-17.  A major part of this years festivities will be devoted to the remembrance of the Trenton Speedway.  The track was opened in 1900 as a 1 mile dirt track and was paved in 1957.  In  1968, the track was enlarged to 1.5 mile and also received its familiar "kidney bean" shape configuration.  The track was closed in 1980 and the former site is now occupied by the Grounds for Sculpture and a residential development.

James Hylton first race at Trenton was the 1967 Northern 300 in which he drove his 1965 Dodge to a 10th place finish (pictured at right).  Hylton would run at Trenton on six occasions with 2 Top-Fives and 6 Top-Ten finishes to his credit. 

Wally Dallenbach competed in 27 USAC Indy Car races at Trenton Speedway and won the 1977 Trentonian 200.  Dallenbach complied 12 Top-Five and 19 Top-Ten finishes at the track during his career.
