Stock car racing in Wimbledon - Stock car race histories

Wimbledon Wimbledon stock car events

At Plough Lane Wimbledon stock car events happen in Wimbledon Stadium, close to where Wimbledon FC used to play their games. The Wimbledon stock car events are overseen by BriSCA (British Stock Car Association) in league with Spedeworth International and is an integral part of the fixture list which runs each year from September through to March. A certain level of contact is permitted in stock car races, so there is encouragement for drivers to nudge opponents' vehicles in order to affect the driver's focus so they end up losing line. This stand out racing rule for stock car racing meant that Wimbledon stock car events often attracted crowds of over 30,000 in the years immediately after World War Two. The popularity of Wimbledon speedway stadium with Wimbledon stock car events fans means that punters always flock there, due in part to the famed oval track as well as it having the best facilities for stock car races in the UK.
