Kil-Kare Raceway is a motorsports complex located in Xenia Township, Greene County, near Xenia and Dayton, Ohio, USA. It first opened in 1959 and features two separate tracks: Kil-Kare Speedway, a 3/8 mile (0.6 km) asphalt oval for stock car racing and Kil-Kare Dragway, a 1/4 mile dragstrip. The oval is unconventional in shape, with the cars almost in a continuous slide between turns one and four.

Like its sister track, Columbus Motor Speedway, Kil-Kare hosts four divisions of local racing: Crazy Compacts, Sport Stocks, Modifieds, and Late Models. In fact, some drivers race at both CMS and Kil-Kare every race weekend, due to the fact that Kil-Kare holds its racing program on Friday nights and CMS holds theirs on Saturday nights.

The name Kil-Kare is believed to be derived from an old resort that once stood on the property currently occupied by the raceway. A bicycle path that borders the raceway to the South was once a railroad. The railroad carried passenger trains near the turn of the 19th to 20th century. The passenger trains stopped at the resort that was named "Kill all your cares". As time progressed, the resort closed and the name Kil-Kare stuck.

The track hosted the ARLA Street Stocks East Division in 2010.

It will host the ARLA Tornado Alley Truck Series in 2013.
