Update Feb 12 2024: I found 2 articles from 1927 referencing races at this track. It was a 1/2 mile dirt track as previously thought. There were several sites known as Davison Fairgrounds but the location known for racing later became Rosemoor Park which featured horse and auto racing. This would have been in the 20's.
Later on, that site was razed to make way for a housing development. There is a street called Rosemore (small spelling difference) within that subdivision in the modern era that refers to this historical site. It is off of M-15 and E South St. The Davison Fire Dept sits just West of where the old fairgrounds and track were so I will use that address for reference.

My father attended a midget race at the Davison track as a child. Probably middle 1930's I would guess. He told me that the track was on the east side of M-15 about 3/4 mile north of what is now I-69. The site is now a large shopping plaza. He remembered a very long delay in the racing while an injured driver was transported to a hospital in Flint. That was probably Dad's first exposure to auto racing. He was a life long fan of midget and sprint car racing. He passed in 2003.
