SSCRA was formed in 1954 and initially operated out of the 8th Street Racing Oval, The Motordrome, near what is now McKercher Drive and Moss Avenue in Saskatoon.

The SSCRA ran out of the Exhibition grounds grandstand in 1970, but area residents complained about the noise, dust and traffic.

The SSCRA subsequently made a deal to purchase land for Bridge City Speedway in what is now the Evergreen neighborhood of Saskatoon.

Sutherland Automotive Speedway has several racing classes, they are Sport Compact Mini Stock, Pro Truck, Sportsman, Street Stock, Pro Late Model, Legends, and Bandeleros, but its premier event is the NASCAR Canada Series.

The NASCAR Canada series has made a stop in Saskatoon for a Wednesday night race, the Bayer Crop Sciences Velocity Prairie Thunder, since 2009.
