Learn About Our Speedway

The Marlboro Raceway was built in 1952 as a dirt oval for stock car races. The oval was paved and incorporated into a twisty 1.7-mile road course, making it a favorite racetrack for SCCA™.

The Marlboro Raceway eventually closed in 1970. After 40 years of being closed, we are pleased to announce its official grand opening.
