Likely the one mile track, Brown only lists this:

Illinoise State Fairgrounds - Springfield / original track ran east and west.  1.0 mile dirt oval (c.1910 - 8/17/29) / grandstands faced south.  a new $450,000 grandstands was built and opened on 8/27/27)

1.0 mile dirt oval (8/24/34 - 8/16/41) (8/17/46 - present)

the track was rebuilt so the fans were not facing the afternoon sun.  the current grandstands face east and the track runs north and south.

 

Last answer for today until after Good Friday Chuch Service at 2 pm.
