The 2022 Grand Bend Speedway season opener scheduled for Saturday, May 21 has rained out. After reviewing the forecasted weather, track officials determined that cancellation would be in the best interests of fans and drivers as they plan their weekend.

The rainout is resulting in an update to the schedule: the “Infamous 100 Qualifier” (Bone Stock race) that was scheduled to run on Saturday night will now run on Saturday, June 4. All other events are unchanged.

About the Track: Grand Bend Speedway is a 1/4 mile paved Tri-Oval race track. Originally built in 1996 for small-scale vehicles it was later expanded into the track of today which can accommodate both half-size development series as well as full-size race cars.  The track is located just outside the town of Grand Bend beside the Grand Bend Motorplex facility.

A summer of competition kicks off at Grand Bend Speedway this weekend as the track aims to carve a name for itself as a must-attend destination for beachgoers on Saturday nights this year. Opening night this Saturday will feature racing from six different classes of competition including half-size competition as well as full-size race cars with racing getting underway at 7pm.

There have been considerable changes during the off-season at the track which has placed a renewed focus on delivering a strong fan experience.  Spectators will find an improved sound system, relocated food concessions (with a new menu), a new website, and a host of additional improvements as the season goes along.  Play-by-play announcing will be delivered by Chris Soares and John Houghton: a broadcast team known to many race fans after having announced races locally for over a decade.

Drivers will experience new incentives this summer with considerably more prize money being offered at events.  This helps the track not only attract more drivers into competition, but also provides prizing worth battling for on the track.

The speedway is also introducing the “Around the Bend” driving experience.  The attraction runs throughout the summer and gives participants the opportunity to ride along in a full-size race car or, if they are brave enough, take the challenge and get behind the wheel themselves.

(printable) May 21 2022 GBS Payout Chart

With the 2022 racing season approaching at Grand Bend Speedway we have monitored recent posts and responses on social media in regards to rules.GBS has come to the conclusion that our 6.5hp, 9hp and 13hp Honda engine classes will be technically inspected (ENGINE RELATED) based on lap times and visual performance. We will be asking for the complete engine with all add-ons in running condition (as raced) to be removed and submitted for post race component and dyno inspection if needed.This is “IF and WHEN” necessary and needed to be enforced. Engine inspection should be treated as a complement to being fast and necessary for equality and fair racing at GBS.Please have the proper tools for removal and be aware of our position with you and your equipment for the proper amount of time for off sight inspection to occur and be released.There is not cost to you if your engine is legal.We appreciated our race team commitment to competing in a fair and equal setting at GBS and look forward to the 2022 season.

Grand Bend Speedway is pleased to launch its new website in anticipation of the 2022 racing season.

Redevelopment of the website was made possible through support from John Houghton’s CheckeredFlagMedia.com which offers services in website setup and maintenance, video production, and Facebook & Google advertising.
