About Princeton Speedway
Princeton Speedway is proud to be one of the longest-running tracks in Minnesota, with roots that go back more than 135 years. Racing first began at the Mille Lacs County Fairgrounds in the late 1800s with horse racing before making the transition to automobile racing in 1954.
For the past 70 years, the tradition of motorsports has continued to thrive right here in Princeton, bringing generations of fans and drivers together for unforgettable nights at the track.
