CARIBOU, Maine (AP)   A race track in northern Maine is for sale.

The Spud Speedway in Caribou is on the market for $275,000. That includes the one-third mile oval, new bleachers and other structures on 48 acres.

The race track draws U.S. and Canadian racers.

The track originally opened in 1964, and it’s had its ups and downs. It closed after the 2015 season because it was losing money, but it reopened last year after improvements.
