I've attended Delaware since I was in the womb in 1958. It started as a dirt 1/4 mile built by Mr. Hugh Brodie, a tobacco farmer. It was paved in '62 the pit were behind the back straight and turn 3. In 1968 Jack Greedy turned it into a 1/2 mile built for Supermodifieds. Turn 1&2 is tighter and higher banked than 3&4 and the hill coming off 2, helps the car as the car accelerates off the corner.
Jack raced supers and wanted a track that was fast and provided good side by side racing. Mr. Brodie still owned the land and made a living farming and limited the land used. Where the track is and the spectator hill is, could be a gravel pit, if the track closed.
