Owosso Speedway is a fixture in the Motorsports history books in the great state of Michigan. The 2010 racing season at the Big "O" will be the tracks' 69th year of operation!

In 1939 the track opened up as a ¼ mile dirt oval. Then for two years in 1944 and 1945, the track closed the doors on Auto Racing to serve as a Prisoners of War (P.O.W.) Camp during World War II.

The race track reopened for Auto Racing in 1946 with a new ½ mile dirt oval surrounding the existing 1/4 mile dirt track and operated this way until 1953, when just the 1/4 mile was paved while the ½ mile remained a dirt oval!

The track stayed that way until 1972 when the ½ mile was also paved. It was in 1983 when the pavement was removed from both tracks and the historical facility operated as both a ½ mile and ¼ mile dirt track once again.

For the 1989 racing season, under the Simko Family ownership, the track was completely redesigned to its current 3/8s Mile High-Banked Paved Oval configuration and still today, is regarded as one of the raciest speedways in the United States with constant side by side racing with two and even three race-able grooves.

In 2000, Karl Keifer and Donnie Shaw purchased the facility while Keifer alone was the owner for the 2003 season. At the end of that year, Bighause Inc., bought the speedway from Keifer and ran the facility beginning with the 2004 campaign.

In April of 2006, a Dirt Figure 8 track was constructed inside the infield of the 3/8s mile pavement and in November of 2006, the High-Banks themselves were resurfaced.

In July of 2008, the Fast Track Promotions Inc.,  team of Jeff and Pam Parish as well as Rick and Jennie Miracle purchased the historic Ovid, Michigan speed plant from Bighause Inc.

Today, Owosso Speedway is the premiere short track in Central Michigan featuring constant side by side action and fun for the whole family. 2010 will be the second full season and third overall under the helm of Fast Track Promotions Inc.

Over the years legends such as the late Benny Parsons, Gordon Johncock, Dick Trickle, Mark Martin, Ryan Newman, Kenny Schrader, Matt Kenseth, the late Joe Shear, and Michigan's own Johnny Benson Jr., have raced here. More recently NASCAR Nationwide Series' Most Popular Driver of the 2008 season, Brad Keselowski has also called Owosso Speedway home.

In addition many members of the Michigan Hall of Fame such as Ovid's own, Jim Aldrich, St, Johns native, Kris Patterson, Tom Maier, Willie, Butch, and Gary Fedewa, Mike Eddy, Bill Whittington, "The Flying' Farmer" Dave Mulder, Owosso's Resident Son, Tim Felver, and many more have all called Owosso Speedway home in past years.
