About Beech Ridge Motor Speedway
Beech Ridge Motor Speedway was a 1/3-mile asphalt oval short track located at 70 Holmes Road in Scarborough, near Portland, Maine. Though the venue has been demolished and the site is under redevelopment for a FedEx facility, the racing legacy remains part of New England motorsport history. The track hosted weekly races and touring series, including NASCAR Busch North/Xfinity-era events, NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour visits, ACT Pro/Late Model Tours, and NEMA races over several decades. This page provides a comprehensive overview of the former venue, accessibility, and nearby lodging and dining options for visitors interested in Maine’s racing heritage.
Note: On-site event parking is no longer offered due to redevelopment. Visitors planning trips should rely on nearby hotel options along the Route 1 corridor and use local roads for access. We’ve got you covered with practical guidance on how to approach transportation and where to stay and eat in the Scarborough/South Portland area.
If you’re researching Beech Ridge’s history or planning a visit to related motorsport events in Maine, consider checkpoints like historical NASCAR archives or local tourism resources for the Scarborough/Portland area.
