The Y Drive-In was opened prior to 1955 when it was operated by Glen Hlader. Now the Wakeeney Mini Speedway. A couple of ramps are still visible just east of the track.

Why was it called y Drive-in?
Most likely closed during the 1970s, due to the fact that a 1978 aerial view shows the theater without its screen, but everything remained intact for several more years. Despite several changes by 1985, the concession building and nearly half of the traces survive into the early-1990s. The building was unfortunately gone by 2002, and the rest of the theater was gone by 2006 as a racetrack was constructed at the site.
