From the Sharon Speedway website: https://www.sharonspeedway.com/history/

"Sharon Speedway is one of the oldest, continuously running weekly racetracks in the United States. Rusty Wallace, Tom Sneva, Tony Stewart, Lee Petty Dave Blaney, Kyle Larson, and Christopher Bell are among a long list of drivers who have competed here since Sharon Speedway started operations in 1929."

Orange County began hosting automobile races in 1919. So the announcer was misspoke or was misinformed.
