There are numerous abandoned places in Oklahoma, though the following spot is definitely among the creepiest. Tulsa Speedway was located on the Tulsa Fairgrounds from the 1930s until it moved north on Highway 75 in 1985, when the Fair Meadows horse track was constructed nearby. Once the track moved, they started the first sprint car program in 1988. The Tulsa Speedway was a popular and successful location through the 1990s. It changed ownership many times and finally shut its doors in 2005. One YouTuber took footage of this abandoned speedway in Oklahoma, which offers a fascinating perspective.

Take a look at the grim footage of the original Tulsa Speedway. Please note that most of this racetrack has been demolished and abandoned, and the video is from several year ago. Regardless, we think it's pretty fascinating!
