Any auto racing tracks have a "Race Car"  Ave/Blvd/Ln/whatever? Anywhere?
Google Maps search turns up a Race Car Dr., Dagsboro, DE, and Race Car Pl., La Plata, MD.
Also came up with Race Car Ln, Moncks Corner, SC; Race Car Dr, Bradley, ME; Race Car Dr, Three Springs, PA; Race Car Alley, Bonifay, FL; none are near tracks, tho

"Race car"  is a favorite palindrome of mine

I was half-expecting a former dirt short track, but the Moncks Corners example is alongside of a go-kart track.

In Montville, CT there's Oxoboxo Brook and Oxoboxo Lake, with the nearby Oxoboxo Rd, Oxoboxo Cross Rd, and Oxoboxo Dam Rd being named after those water features.  According to wikipedia, the name is derived from Algonquian languages of the area.

Gee, if it's in all caps, OXOBOXO, it has vertical symmetry too.

Cool!  Never thought of that.
