Angell Park Speedway has a 1/3 mile dirt racetrack located in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Racing occurs every Sunday approximately Memorial Day until Labor Day. Special racing events and the weather may alter the schedule. The races are generally sanctioned by the Badger Midget Auto Racing Association (BMARA), although some events are co-sanctioned by USAC. BMARA sanctions several midget car events at other nearby tracks, which are included in the series' points standings.

In addition to the racetrack, the facility features the National Midget Auto Racing Hall of Fame, the Sun Prairie Firemans Park in the Prairie, and a pavilion.

The track is nationally known for its midget car races, which began racing in 1936. The track was closed between 1942 and 1945, since all racing in the United States was halted during World War II. The track began hosting its first non-midget car races in 2007 when an occasional touring event was added to its program.
