Motoplex Speedway and Event Park, formerly known as SunValley Speedway, was a paved tri-oval auto racing facility located in Spallumcheen, north of Vernon, British Columbia, Canada. The facility features a 7,500-seat, .5 miles (0.80 km) NASCAR-sanctioned tri-oval. There are also hot pits for 38 cars, 105 polished cement pit stalls, and a 10-acre (40,000 m2) campground with elevated motor home parking. In 2010, the venue began being used for other events including concerts.
The last event was held in 2015 due to legal actions, and the owners have applied to rezone the property for industrial use.[1]
