Norway Speedway, located in Norway, Michigan, is a one-third mile asphalt oval track that is slightly banked. The speedway is located at the Dickinson County fairgrounds along U.S. Route 8. Norway Speedway began as a dirt track in 1942 and was paved in 1978. The track held American Speed Association sanction before the sanctioning body closed. The track holds stock car races on Friday nights from mid-May through Labor Day Weekend which is the weekend of the Dickinson County Fair. The fair has games, carnival rides, a demolition derby, and a livestock building filled with animals. Events include the Auto-Value Challenge Series, Race to a Cure Cancer, the Stateline Challenge and the Labor Day 100 championship race held during the Dickinson County Fair. The ARCA Midwest Tour, Mid-American Stock Car Series, and the TUNDRA Super Late Models have raced at the track. The track also features a "Spectator Eliminator" series, which participants can register to compete in a single lap, best of three race format, organized as a bracket style elimination tournament.

As of 2025, the track also features a livestream, that fans at home can utilize to enjoy watching the events every Friday, in the event they cannot make it to the track physically.

On September 6th, 2026, the 13 year Late Model track record (5/18/2013) of 13.951 by Dalton Zehr (119), was beaten by John Beale (5), with a time of 13.925, which was followed up with a 13.940.
