History of Stafford Motor Speedway


Throughout its 126 year history, the Stafford Motor Speedway has enjoyed a reputation for the innovative. Known as the Stafford Springs Agricultural Park, this 100 acre facility was developed to showcase the area's Agricultural Heritage.

When the Park opened in 1870, patrons from the "big city", nearby Hartford, would travel directly to the entrance gate aboard the newest form of mechanized transportation...a trolley!

Quickly Stafford's reputation grew. The largest Agricultural events in New England called Stafford home and a half mile horse racing facility drew crowds interested in horsepower instead of fertilizer! Trotters and Pacers tested the Stafford track up to the end of World War II when the return to peace and prosperity brought a new type of racing to Stafford. Park officials reasoned that Americans were ready for faster action. They saw the popularity of Automobile racing in other regions of the country and the horse gave way to motor racing.
