Available in:
Northampton Shaleway also known as Brafield, is used for BriSCA F1 Stock Cars, BriSCA Formula 2 Stock Cars, V8 Hotstox, and various other forms of oval motor sport including National Hot Rods, Banger racing, Saloon Stock Cars, Ministox and Rebels. It also briefly hosted speedway and greyhound racing, speedway returning in 2026.
Brafield first staged Speedway in 1954. The Brafield Flying-Foxes, lined up in the Southern Area League (division 3 at the time). the team finished fourth during the 1954 Southern Area League. The following season they finished in 3rd position in the 1955 Southern Area League, collecting twelve of the available twenty-four points. And that was it at Brafield until the circuit reopened in 1966. This time the circuit was granted an open licence and concentrated on providing opportunities for youngsters and older riders that couldn't quite hold down British League places. The team was renamed the Brafield Badgers and interspersed individual meetings with matches against reserve sides from British League tracks. The Speedway closed for good at the end of the 1967 season.
A new speedway team called Northampton Speedway will race at the Raceway during the 2026 SGB Premiership.
