Delaware Speedway

Delaware Speedway, located just west of London, Ontario, Canada, is a historic and challenging half-mile (0.5 mile, 0.805 km) paved oval racing circuit. Established in 1952, it's one of the oldest continuously operating speedways in Canada, boasting a rich history deeply intertwined with the development of Canadian stock car racing.

The track layout is a classic oval, characterized by relatively tight, progressively banked corners (approximately 12 degrees) and long, sweeping straightaways. This configuration promotes close, competitive racing and rewards drivers with a delicate balance of throttle control and car setup. While seemingly simple, the track's subtle nuances, including imperfections in the aging surface, demand precision and driver skill. Passing opportunities are plentiful, both on the inside and outside, but require calculated aggression.

Delaware Speedway primarily hosts stock car racing events, including NASCAR Pinty's Series races, APC United Late Model Series, and local divisions like Super Stocks, V8 Stocks, and Bone Stocks. The track has also hosted various other forms of motorsport over the years, including open-wheel racing and motorcycle events. The track’s versatility allows for a diverse racing schedule throughout the season.

What makes Delaware Speedway unique is its old-school charm and the passionate community that surrounds it. The facility retains a vintage atmosphere, with its grandstands offering excellent views of the entire track. The speedway's location within a vibrant agricultural community adds to its character, and the loyal fan base creates an electric atmosphere on race nights. The track's history, combined with its challenging layout and dedicated community, makes Delaware Speedway a truly special place for motorsport enthusiasts.
