A Brief History of Oxford Plains Speedway
The story of Oxford Plains Speedway begins in April 1950, when George Damon bought 200 acres of flat, lightly wooded land in the town of Oxford.

But it wasn’t on the track we know today. In fact, the original Oxford Plains Speedway was a ½-mile dirt track.
