I had trouble wrapping my head around why anyone would want to close one of the most iconic drag racing tracks in the world, but all of a sudden the closure of Morrison, Colorado’s Bandimere Speedway is making way more sense.

The former Bandimere Speedway property has sold to automobile auction firm, Copart.

California-based Copart purchased the approximately 150-acre site northwest of C-470 and Morrison Road on Tuesday (Oct. 22) for $51 million, according to public records.

Copart plans to turn the site into a storage facility for cars awaiting resale.

The Bandimere family opened the speedway in 1958. It hosted the last races there in July 2023. They plan to relocate, and have focused in on the area around Hudson, a town in Weld County along I-76.
