Beech Ridge is a third-mile asphalt oval raceway that is renowned across the nation as a leader in the short track racing field. It’s a legendary speedway with a modern flair for great family entertainment.

For 60 straight seasons, Beech Ridge Motor Speedway has been forging the way in Maine motorsports.

Every season brings a variety of racing entertainment that spans the summer. Saturday nights are NASCAR Nite, featuring the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series, and anchor the entire season from late-April until early-September. Thursday Thunder is the region’s mid-week sensation, trumpeting amateur level economy class racing that packs the house for ten straight weeks from mid-June to mid-August. The Wednesday Series begins in mid-June for eight select dates, serving as an upper level race experience for drivers graduating from the Thunder series. Friday nights in August are slam-bang fun during Car Wars, where Good vs. Evil and the cars are real characters! And the Day of Destruction says – and does – it all at three special events in May, June and September.
