Motordrome Speedway

Motordrome Speedway was a 1/2-mile NASCAR sanctioned racetrack located in South Huntingdon Township, Westmoreland County, to the northeast of Smithton, Pennsylvania, United States.[1]

Weekly series divisions that ran included super late models, modifieds, street stocks, chargers and super compacts.[2] The track operated Friday nights weekly from April to October until closing its doors in 2015. As of March 2016 the track was closed and for sale or lease.[3]

The track and buildings are all still on the property, though have become looted and vandalized as often happens with "abandoned" properties with little or no security [4]

The original Motordrome was in nearby Ruffs Dale. East Huntingdon Township. It was a dirt track. Pits were on one side of the track and stands on the other.
