Monadnock Speedway has been in operation since 1971, when it was carved out of a gravel pit in Winchester, New Hampshire, by original owner Bill Brown.

The track has gone through multiple owners since that time, with Larry Cirillo and Fred Pafumi owning the track for more than 30 years. The facility was sold to current owner Norm Wrenn Jr. late in 2018.
