The dust clouds created by the dirt track convinced the brothers to pave the speedway, which they did in 1952, starting the first official season of racing at Kill-Kare.
The track was rebuilt into a 3/8 mile configuration in 1955.
Kil-Kare Dragway, a quarter-mile strip, was added in 1959. The dragway was rebuilt with concrete in 2013, making it a very popular venue for drag racing in the region.
