The Round of Rhode Island was a stock car race held on the Warwick Fairgrounds from 1950 through 1963. It was sanctioned by the National Stock Car Series and is one of the original races on the schedule. The race has not been held since the closure of Warwick Fairgrounds despite several attempts at its revival.
