Stafford Motor Speedway, just off Route 140 in Stafford Springs, is a classic Connecticut asphalt oval, a mainstay of racing in the region. It's a half-mile track, and while you might see some bigger touring series swing through occasionally, the heart of Stafford is its weekly racing program. Think local drivers, familiar faces, and consistent competition. If you're looking for high-dollar spectacle, this probably isn't it, but if you want to see genuine short track racing, this is the place. Expect grandstand seating with a good view of the whole track. The Speedway caters primarily to seasoned race fans familiar with oval track racing, as well as folks living in the surrounding towns of northern Connecticut. It's the kind of place where you'll see generations of families who have been coming for years. If you are new to racing, it's a great spot to get your feet wet, and the regular schedule allows you to become familiar with the drivers and the cars. Check the local listings or racing news outlets for the schedule and any special events that might be coming up.
