History

In 1961, a short lived club called Outrup Motor Sport was formed, and they built a small dirt track described as being part of the Blåbjerg Klitplantage. Although the club soon folded, the track location remained. It was this site that the Outrup Speedway Club chose for the construction of a full size speedway track. After much work the new speedway track was opened on 3 July 1976.
During the 1980s, the track needed renovation in order for the licensing of international events to be granted by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme. The decision was taken to build a new track adjacent to the existing one to ensure that the necessary specifications could be achieved. The new track opened during 1986, which coincided with the new Danish Superliga, a new professional league tournament. Previously, the league consisted of multiple amateur teams and Danish speedway suffered from the fact that many of their top professional riders chose not to race in Denmark.
The venue has hosted significant speedway events including:
