Kil-Kare Raceway is a motorsports complex located in Xenia Township, Greene County, near Xenia and Dayton, Ohio, USA. It first opened in 1959 and features two separate tracks: Kil-Kare Speedway, a 3/8 mile (0.6 km) asphalt oval for stock car racing and Kil-Kare Dragway, a 1/4 mile dragstrip. The oval is unconventional in shape, with the cars almost in a continuous slide between turns one and four.
The facility is affiliated with both the NHRA and NASCAR and holds events in the Whelen All-American Series as well as local events including figure 8 races. It formerly hosted races in ARCA and USAR Pro Cup Series competition.
The name Kil Kare is believed to be derived from an old resort that once stood on the property currently occupied by the raceway. The Creekside Trail bicycle path, which borders the raceway to the south, was once the Columbus and Xenia Railroad. The railroad carried passenger trains near the turn of the 20th century. The passenger trains stopped at the resort that was named "Kill all your cares". As time progressed, the resort closed, the railroad was dismantled, and the name Kil-Kare, which was formed from the name of the resort, stuck.
Got a long list of things to do
It begins and ends with gettin' over you
I can't quit 'til I'm through
I get up with the sun and go down with the moon
Chorus:
Pain and tears
Can't be all there is
Is it any wonder I'm feeling six feet under
Baby you're nothing but too much trouble
Gotta bury this love and bury the shovel
Gonna dig me a hole and make it deep
Gonna lay down what's left of us
And then put this thing to sleep
Let my soul rest in peace
Gotta nail down the lid
On these stone cold memories
'Cause
Chorus
I'm gonna hold on tight to what I've got
And not worry 'bout what I've missed
Someday I'm gonna leave this world
Knowing that I've been blessed
Even if it never gets better than this
