The New London-Waterford Speedbowl is a 3/8-mile (0.604-km) asphalt oval race track located on Route 85 in Waterford, Connecticut, just off Interstate 395. It first opened for business on April 15, 1951 as "The New London-Waterford Speed Bowl". The track has been in continuous operation every season since it initially opened. It has continuously promoted Modified stock car racing as its featured division since its first year of operation. It first started out as a crushed blue stone track, but after several weeks of operation, the dust created during green flag segments of racing became a nuisance to spectators. The track closed for about a month and re-opened as an asphalt oval, which it remains today.

It hosted the third round of the 2013 FARCE Modified Series Season.
