Owosso Speedway is a 0.375 mi (0.604 km), progressively banked ovalshort track located east ofOvid, Michigan, between Ovid andOwosso, further east.

In 1939 the Owosso Speedway opened as a1⁄4 mile (0.40 km) dirt oval. The track would operate until 1944 when it closed to serve as a POW Camp for captured German soldiers fromWorld War II. These soldiers were housed on the Speedway facilities and were allowed out into the community to do small jobs for the locals.

• The track resumed racing in 1946 with a brand-new high banked1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) asphalt oval sharing a front stretch with the1⁄4 mile. In 1953 the1⁄4 mile was paved, while the1⁄2 mile remained a dirt track. In 1960 the1⁄2 mile would go dormant, as it was closed because the track was allegedly too fast to be insured.
• The1⁄2 mile would be resurrected in 1963 and the facility would continue on that way until 1972 when the big track was paved to go along with the already paved little track.
• In 1983 the track was converted over to dirt, for the first time since 1952 the two tracks were both dirt. The Speedway would close in 1988–1989 when the Simko family converted the1⁄2 and1⁄4 mile tracks over to the current3⁄8 mile (0.60 km) oval with progressive banking (steeper in higher lanes), similar to what has since happened toSouth Boston Speedway in Virginia.
• The circuit was sold in 2022 to current owner Rex Wheeler, who repaved the circuit for the 2023 season.
