About Us
Scotia Speedworld celebrated its grand opening in May 1988 - and was immediately tagged Atlantic Canada's Action Centre - a description that remains accurate as we enter the 2016 season - our 29th exciting year. Constant improvements have been made to keep with the times and the track has evolved from its original true oval configuration to the current D-shaped oval. As a result, the track is a favourite for racers and spectators near and far, indeed the premiere stock car racing facility in Eastern Canada and only fitting to host the premiere stock car races in Eastern Canada.
The racing surface is wide and fast, lending itself to door-handle-to-door-handle excitement for all divisions. The access and exit ramps between the pit area and the track, combined with a large staging area, make for congestion free transition "behind the scenes", keeping the show moving and your audience alert and receptive.
The addition of a paved pit road in the infield area in 1999 allows the fans to watch exciting pit-side action during special events from the comfort of their grandstand seat. Each year safety, competition or creature comforts are added or upgraded.
