Speedway News NZ

SpeedwayNews.co.nz is your one-stop destination for everything New Zealand speedway, created by the fans, for the fans.

Speedway has a proud and storied history in Aotearoa, one that extends far beyond our local tracks and resonates with passionate communities worldwide. Yet, despite its deep roots and devoted following, the sport has long lacked a central media hub- a place to share its stories, celebrate its heroes, and showcase the incredible commitment that keeps it roaring.

That’s where Speedway News New Zealand comes in.

Founded by former New Zealand Dirt Track Racing Magazine Editor Matthew Sampson, alongside long-time friend Craig Irvine, the nephew of Stockcar legend Neville Irvine, the site was born from a shared vision: to give New Zealand speedway the dedicated platform it deserves.

From grassroots competitors to national champions, Speedway News NZ is here to shine a light on every corner of the sport in preserving its stories, celebrating its people, and keeping the passion alive for the next generation of fans.
