[edit] History
The Benalla Auto Club (founded in 1957) began planning for a permanent racing track around 1958. In 1960 it was decided to build the track at Winton Recreation Reserve and was completed in twelve months.
[edit] V8 Supercars
The track is currently used as a round in the popular V8 Supercar series. The track is one of the less popular of the tracks in the series because of the difficulty of overtaking. In 2006 the round was won by Ford Driver Craig Lowndes.
