Fire Destroys Main Tower At Southern Ontario Motor Speedway, Cancels Racing

Southern Ontario Motor Speedway suffered a blow this week, as a fire early Wednesday morning destroyed the main tower and damaged the canteen area.

According to the track, the fire has caused a cancellation of all racing this weekend.

“we are so upset to have to cancel the racing events for this weekend. Please understand that if there was anyway we could be ready we would. However, that is not the case and we need to ensure safety for everybody too. All practices and racing are cancelled for this week. We will update you on any further information as we have available,” Southern Ontario Motor Speedway posted on social media.

The track was purchased this year and renamed from the original South Buxton Raceway.
