Norway Speedway, located in Norway, Michigan, is a one-third mile asphalt oval track that is slightly banked.[5] The speedway is located at the Dickinson County fairgrounds along U.S. Route 8.[6] Norway Speedway began as a dirt track in 1942 and was paved in 1978.[7] The track held American Speed Association sanction before the sanctioning body closed.[7] The track holds stock car races on Friday nights from mid-May through Labor Day Weekend which is the weekend of the Dickinson County Fair. The fair has games, carnival rides, a demolition derby, and a livestock building filled with animals. Events include the Auto-Value Challenge Series, Race to a Cure Cancer, the Stateline Challenge and the Labor Day 100 championship race held during the Dickinson County Fair. The ARCA Midwest Tour,[8] Mid-American Stock Car Series,[9] and the TUNDRA Super Late Models[10] have raced at the track. The track also features a "Spectator Eliminator" series, which participants can register to compete in a single lap, best of three race format, organized as a bracket style elimination tournament.
As of 2025, the track also features a livestream, that fans at home can utilize to enjoy watching the events every Friday, in the event they cannot make it to the track physically.
