Holsted Speedway Center or Moldow Speedway Arena is a motorcycle speedway facility located about 6 kilometres south of Holsted, Denmark. The track is off the Ribevej road that runs south from railway town.[1] The stadium is the home track for the Holsted Tigers, who race in the Danish Speedway Leagues.[2][3]

History[edit]

The track opened on 4 June 1989, replacing the old Holsted Gørklint Speedway track.[4]

On 28 July 1996, the arena hosted the 1996 Intercontinental final and the 2000 Intercontinental final, before being selected for a round of the 2003 Speedway World Cup.[5]

In 2022, the Danish Individual Speedway Championship was held at the center for the 13th time in its history.[6][7]
