History

[edit]

Construction on a speedway track began in 1980 by the Nyköping Motorsällskap Association, opening in May 1984.[1]

The venue hosted the World Championship Swedish final round during both the 1989 Individual Speedway World Championship and 1989 Individual Speedway World Championship[5] It also hosted the Swedish Individual Speedway Championship in 2014.[6]

The track record is held by Robin Törnqvist in a time of 57.4 seconds.

The stadium was renamed the Truckmountedattenuator (TMA) Bolaget Arena for sponsorship purposes.
