Drivers from the ages of 8 and up race side-by-side each Friday night beginning in June and lasting through September. The family environment that Friday night’s offer only costs $10 to check out.
Saturday nights, the NASCAR Pro Stocks headline action with 40 lap feature races in a division that includes plenty of veterans. The NASCAR Late Models, Sports Trucks and Sportsman also join them each week, with the Sportsman class providing three-wide action for laps on end. Whether it’s drivers breaking into action in their first season, or veterans chasing yet another championship, the combination of both on the track together provides fans with plenty of excitement.
Five times a year, Seekonk Speedway holds Thrill Shows, packing the grandstands with fans and providing some of the top action that New England has to offer. Whether it’s enduro races or drivers bringing their streetcar onto the track for drag racing, the Thrill Shows offer plenty of thrills and spills.
No matter the night, the elation of winning an event at the third-mile oval is second to none. The history that surrounds the Speedway dates back to the late 1940s, with one family, the Venditti’s, in control ever since the beginning.

Seekonk Speedway only allows service animals on property in compliance with the American Disabilities Act of 1990.
It is our responsibility as an entertainment venue to ensure the safety of all patrons at the Speedway.
Under the ADA, a service animal is defined as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the person's disability.
Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.
Service animals should be clearly identified as such by wearing a harness and being leashed at all times unless it interferes with their service job.. Service dogs are not carried or pushed on a cart or stroller. Service dogs do not pull on their leash, bark or whine or seek attention. Service dogs are not aggressive.
