N.C.R. Speedway - 1924

Thanks to First Super Speedway follower Major Simms we can share this "mystery" photo. This is a poster to promote a race held in 1924 at N.C.R. Speedway. Major is inquiring about more information:

Where was this Speedway?
When in the year was the race held?
Who won? Other results?
How many years was the track in operation?

If anyone knows more, please contact me and we can help Major - plus get the story published here.

I'm stumped on this photo. Clues appear to be tires, and Harvey Firestone put Barney in the tire business with "Oldfield Tires," which means the photo could have been taken in 1920. The jockey-sized man pictured with him makes me think of the stunt aviator Lincoln Beachey, whom Oldfield barnstormed with in 1914. Beachey was killed in 1915. Anyone with better information is most welcome to comment.
