Our Story

A QUICK LAP OF OUR HISTORY...

The peak body for four-wheeled Speedway racing in the country. Our job is to help control and maintain compliance and safety for the 90+ tracks and 15,000 licensees who are affiliated with us.

NASR, was formed in 1997 when the Federation of Australian Speedway (FAS) and World Series Sprintcars combined to operate as the peak body for Speedway Racing in Australia.

In 2011, NASR rebranded to become Speedway Australia, reflecting a wave of organisational changes and a better resourced licencing body.

Speedway Australia currently oversees more than 90 venues, 15 sanctioning bodies and over 15,000 licence holders comprising of drivers, car owners, crew, officials, media, safety team members and fire fighting workers.

As the peak body in Australian Speedway, we are constantly working diligently as an industry advocate and play a vital role in representing the speedway industry in discussions with other major motor sport organisations, Government bodies and external regulators.

Speedway Australia is also responsible for an Australia-wide licencing system, which includes complimentary Personal Accident Injury Insurance.  Speedway Australia’s Insured Track system provides Group Public Liability Insurance at a rate that would be otherwise unattainable for individual Speedways.

Our Mission:

To lead, govern, protect and advance speedway in Australia by setting national standards, safeguarding our people, promoting good sportsmanship, and supporting clubs and venues to deliver safe, inclusive and sustainable competition with long‑term growth for the sport and its participants.
