The Barrie Speedway is a racing track in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. The NASCAR Canadian Tire Series will use it in 2007, along with Canada’s Autodrome St. Eustache in Quebec and Edmonton International Speedway in Alberta.
Barrie has three home divisions: Late Models, Thunder Cars and Pure Stocks. Other touring series are hosted throughout the season.
The track underwent major upgrades in 2004 which included upgrades to seating, pits and a full resurfacing and partial reconfiguration of the racing surface into its present short track tri-oval.
