Abandoned NASCAR Stadium that nature is reclaiming - Motordrome Speedway

Opened originally as a dirt track in 1972 this speedway would eventually be paved, and also seat 10,000 Nascar fans. Business was going downhill around the 2010's and eventually in 2015 it shut down forever. Screaming engines were no longer roaring in the distance, Motordrome Speedway had to get used to its new ambience, silence. Over the years, nature has started to reclaim this once massive venue. We'll find memorabilia and awards gifted to this track over the years. This was a favorite explore of mine throughout the years and hopefully you guys agree and enjoy.

I used to film the weekly races there from 2005 to 2011 from the platform above the announcer's booth that you access from that ladder and roof hatch in there. Odd seeing the place in that state but it still brings back good memories of all the Friday nights spent there. The videos I filmed there are on my channel if you wanted to see the place before it closed.

As a Nascar fan, it's sad to see these tracks are not being used anymore.

It's honestly mind blowing how everything was just left behind! I recently bought a race track that was out of operation for a couple of years. I'm so excited to try to bring it back to life.

I’m from Pennsylvania and I remember the racetrack at Dorney park for stock cars, and the Nazareth speedway. Both gone, many good times I had at both. I’ve never been to this one. Thank you !

I raced on and off for 10 years at this great track. It breaks my heart to see it in this condition

[robertspringer]

10s of thousands of dollars of racing memorabilia there. Used to go there in the 70's to see my favorite drivers like LJ Dennis, Blackie Watt, and Russ Redshaw.

Wow, the memories I have of this place. Spent many Friday nights here with my father. I even remember seeing a car hop the infield wall on the backstretch and take out someone's personal vehicle. So sad to hear it is no more.

This place was remarkable as far as an abandoned location. Nature reclaiming its own inside our man made venues. If you guys enjoyed the video, leave a thumbs up! This was definetly one of my favorite explores from this year. I'm wishing all that view a Happy New Year's! As we aren't slowing down this year ! Thanks for watching !

[bradbroemmer]

I agree. Great explore. As a Nascar fan and a self confessed car nut, I loved seeing the old memorabilia like tickets, stickers, banners, etc. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool, I love your videos man. For some reason it's so cool to see the old abandoned properties. Almost like it's a weird gateway to the past I guess.

[ironbirds]

i may or may not have taken a few souvenirs when i went such as a few trophies, the fiber glass cowl induction hood and some banners and some flags

The opening crash was Chuck Kennedy, I was there that night. And where you opened your video, up in the back stretch VIP box, that was rented by Rose Lumber. I used to watch races every weekend from that very spot with my mom and dad, with the Rose family. Very awesome people... I miss those days so much....

16:27 legit thought a monster pooped on the wall in there
Great video. How sad seeing a lot of things still in place, just up and gone and closed down

[alliehearst]

You are such a breath of fresh air to watch . True talent and passion. Your smile and excitement for what you do is so contagious. Never stop

[SurferKenTV]

Great explore! In amazing condition with minimal amount of vandalism. People just left it alone after it closed down.

I remember when it was dirt! I remember when Charlie Swartz raced there along with John Holt, Lynn Geisler, Mark Banal, John Johnson, Bucky Johnson, and ....

[evogibson]

i know an old man who used to race there, bob stanford, he raved about the place. PA needs its own cletus mcfarland to save this place.

[miclvoorhis]

I remember going there as a kid from 2005 to even 2014. It looks so different now. I have a lot of good memories there. Thats where i was able to watch local racing as i fell in love with it. Thank you for making this video
