As Delaware Speedway Park makes its way well past its 50th season of racing, it will do so by building upon a rich history – one that is steeped in tradition, change and challenge.

Located just minutes from the city limits of London, Ontario Canada, Delaware Speedway’s natural amphitheater-like setting has provided race fans with the near-perfect vantage point for witnessing countless thrills, spills and racing milestones. The track has changed much over its first 49 years, but one constant remains, and that is the quality of racing and the feeling of family, friendship and togetherness one enjoys upon sharing a Friday night at Canada’s “Best Banked Half-Mile”.

The race track at Delaware Speedway wasn’t always a half-mile, nor has it always been asphalt and concrete. In fact, when the track began operation in 1952, it did so as a quarter-mile dirt track. At the time, the facility was one of many in the area offering different racing programs, though the Speedway at Delaware would endure when others did not, and over the years it would achieve the deserved distinction of Canada’s best oval stock-car track.
