The track opened in 1968 as a 1/4 mile dirt oval. For 1970, it operated as a 3/8 mile dirt oval, then reverted to 1/4 mile dirt from 1971 through July of 1988. It reopened in the 1/4 mile dirt format from May 1993 through 1996. It reopened as a 1/2 mile paved oval on May 9th, 1999. A quarter mile paved oval and a paved figure 8 were added in 2002. The 1/4 mile dragstrip was proposed for the 2007 season; construction started but was not completed due to EPA permitting issues. The track closed after 2010. The track reopened in 2015 under the current name.

The track has also operated as Mansfield Raceway Park, Mansfield Motorsports Park, and Mansfield Motor Speedway.
