Barrie Speedway, Motorsport track in Canada

Barrie Speedway was a 0.333-mile (0.536 km) tri-oval asphalt track in Oro-Medonte, Ontario, north of Barrie. It was built in 1965 as a 0.25-mile oval, the first paved oval north of Toronto, and was modelled on a scaled-down Martinsville Speedway. In 1999 it was rebuilt as a tri-oval with a dogleg, widened and lengthened, and its corners were banked.

Barrie Speedway opened in 1965 as a quarter-mile asphalt oval, the first paved oval north of Toronto, laid out as a smaller version of Martinsville Speedway. In 1999 it was rebuilt as a 0.333-mile tri-oval with a dogleg, widened and with steeper banking, and changed owners. A $2 million modernization in 2004 added seating, a new pit area and fresh asphalt. Sold to Contrans Group Inc. in January 2015, it was demolished from late 2015 and levelled by spring 2016.

Barrie Speedway ran four home divisions: Late Models, Thunder Cars, Pure Stocks A and Pure Stocks Chargers. Touring series such as the Ontario Legends Series, TQ midgets and OSCAAR also raced there. Track champions were crowned yearly, among them Gord Shepard, who took the Late Model title in 2009, 2013 and 2014.

The site lies about 10 km northeast of Barrie in Oro-Medonte, Ontario. The track was demolished from late 2015, and by spring 2016 the land was levelled and has since been used for agricultural purposes, so there is nothing left to visit. Races moved in part to the Sunset Speedway, about 20 km south of Barrie.

The original 1965 quarter-mile asphalt oval was laid out as a scaled-down version of Martinsville Speedway, making it the first paved oval north of Toronto. After the 2015 demolition the site was levelled in spring 2016 and has since been used only for agriculture.
