Is there a charge for parking?

Nope! We offer free parking in our lot.

Is there camping?

No camping during the regular season, however for the season ending Owosso Nationals weekend we traditionally allow camping in a designated section of the parking lot. It is dry camping and there may be a charge for spots.

Is it loud?

While we do our best to establish rules that limit the decibels, racing is still a bit loud. We recommend bringing hearing protection especially for the children.

Are you still racing?

If there is a threat of inclement weather, we will monitor as closely as we can. As soon as a decision is made regarding weather conditions we will put out messages on our website and social media giving all details available regarding rain checks, rain dates, and rescheduled events.

While the Owosso Speedway will be undergoing extensive upgrades and changes over the next several years, the facility still offers a hometown charm that you will find to be the perfect venue for racing excitement.
The front gates will open at 5pm where you can see our friendly ticket office staff. All events in the 2023 season will be just $14 for adults and all patrons 20 years old and younger will be free! After you get your tickets, and staff member may ask to inspect the contents of your cooler if one is brought in. You're welcome to bring beverages both soft and hard, however no glass bottles are allowed and that is what our staff will primarily be checking for. You're also allowed to bring in your own snacks to eat as you enjoy the racing events.
If you did not bring your own snacks, the track has a fully staffed concession stand that offers the track food you would expect at a reasonable price. Our concession stand is located behind the eastern grandstand.
Restrooms are located to the east of the concession stand.
In the main concourse area there is a playground that is available to use for the younger race fans.
We offer wooden bench seating still for the 2023 season. The eastern grandstands are on a solid concrete base, while the western stands are a steel and wooden structure and also offers a handicap accessible ramp to get into the seating area.
The racing program will begin at 7pm. It will feature any combination of our weekly divisions within the Young Chevrolet Challenge Series as well as a variety of travelling series that will visit us during the 2023 campaign. We make all attempts to complete the racing program as efficiently as possible. We aim to have the show complete within 3-4 hours.

If there is a crash or spin and the competitors are not able to quickly resume racing, the starter will throw a caution. The drivers on the track will reduce speed and maintain position.
