ABOUT THE “INFAMOUS” TRI-OVAL

Aerial view of the track.Grand Bend Speedway is a 1/4 mile paved Tri-Oval that is 40 feet wide with 12 degree corner banking.  The track was built in 1996 located just outside the town of Grand Bend next door to the Grand Bend Motorplex facility on its own property and entrance.  The track has featured many great local drivers and touring series competitors who cut their teeth in racing at this facility. Grand Bend Speedway is considered a “driver’s track” as its tricky layout showcases driver skill rather than just vehicle horse power.  The track was formerly dubbed “The Bull Ring” by former promoters, staff and racers.
 
Tabitha Van Bruwaene and Gord Bennett took over leadership of Grand Bend Speedway in 2020. In 2024 the business transitioned into becoming Grand Bend Speedway and Go Kart Centre. She, along with her capable staff and valued volunteers, promise to continue the traditions and build upon the first 25 years of operation with new and innovative ideas keeping Grand Bend Speedway “On Track” for many years to come. They are both a NASCAR Sanctioned Speedway and a TSSA approved Concession Go Karting facility open to the public.
