Can-Am Speedway

Can-Am Speedway is a 1⁄2-mile dirt oval raceway located in La Fargeville, Town of Orleans, New York.

The Can-Am Speedway was built in 1974 by an Evans Mills, New York real estate broker, Leslie W. Brown.

Early in 1975, a group of Watertown Speedway investors purchased the track, that consisted of Bob Thurston Sr., Douglas Atkinson, and Thomas Coughlin.

The Thurston family did a remarkable job with the speedway, even after the rebuilding of the VIP towers after a vicious storm hit the track in 1995.

Just a couple of months into the off season, the track was sold to longtime racer, and Rochester businessman, Tiger Chapman.

Bartlett will continue to compete in weekly races, while Bobby Thurston Jr. will return as general manager.
