History
In 1994 race car driver Glenn Styres built the Template:Cvt mile oval Ohsweken Speedway on Template:Cvt of Styres family-owned land on the Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation Reserve southeast of Brantford, Ontario. The track has been continuously expanded in each year of its existence.[3][4]
The track’s seating capacity was increased to over 8,000 in 2008 and a project was conducted to install Musco lighting, illuminating the speedway to allow the World of Outlaws Sprint Car series to run at the facility.[5]
