The Bandimere family, who operated Bandimere Speedway in Morrison for 65 years, has gained approval from the Town of Hudson to bring their racing business and community programs to a new 1,100-acre site near Interstate 76 and Colorado Highway 52. The town unanimously approved the zoning and annexation, paving the way for the family to build a new quarter-mile racetrack, go-kart track, midget-car track, and other facilities.

Why it matters

The Bandimere Speedway has been a beloved institution in the Denver area for generations, hosting races, youth programs, and community events. As residential growth encroached on the original Morrison location, the family sought a new home to continue their legacy. The move to Hudson will allow the Bandimeres to expand their operations and facilities while maintaining their strong community ties.

The details

After closing the Morrison speedway in 2024, the Bandimere family worked for two years to gain approval from Hudson to build their new racing complex. The plans include not only the racetrack, but also garages, industrial buildings, a chapel, and the continuation of youth programs like Race to Read. The family worked closely with a nearby egg production facility, Opal Foods LLC, to address their concerns about noise and dust impacting the chickens. Ultimately, the two sides reached an agreement, and Opal Foods withdrew their objections.

  • The Bandimere Speedway in Morrison closed on October 18, 2024 after 65 years of operation.
  • The Hudson Town Board unanimously approved the zoning and annexation for the new Bandimere site on April 1, 2026.

What they’re saying

“We don't need to be building another race track. Family-wise, financially, we could just move on, but the issue is why? Because of the people and the platform that the Lord has allowed us to have in basically what we do.”

— John Bandimere Jr., Bandimere Family Member

“When you think about it at the end of the day, it's the relationships you have, whether it's with the chicken farm or the racers. That's what brings people to a facility, when they're welcomed and feel at home.”

— John Bandimere Jr., Bandimere Family Member

What’s next

The Bandimere family will now submit a site development plan to the Town of Hudson, and a groundbreaking ceremony is planned to mark the start of construction on the new racing complex.

The takeaway

The Bandimere family's decision to relocate their historic speedway to Hudson demonstrates the enduring appeal of community-driven, family-owned businesses that can adapt to changing circumstances. Their commitment to maintaining their racing legacy and youth programs will ensure the Bandimere name continues to be synonymous with motorsports in Colorado.
