Marshfield Motor Speedway is a half-mile asphalt oval motor racetrack built by Jim Langreck that is located at 10853 County Rd H, 3.5 miles west of Marshfield, Wisconsin.[1] The land the track sits on was originally purchased by Mr. Langreck in 1972. The track opened as a half-mile clay oval in 1977.

In 1995 the track was paved for the start of the 1996 racing season. Wayne Brevik managed the track starting in 2006.[1] The track features Late Models, Super Stocks, Pure Stocks, and two 4-cylinder classes.[1]

Several touring series have visited the track including ARCA Midwest Tour[2] and the Mid-American Stock Car Series.[3]
