Motorcycle speedway was originated in 1923 in Maitland, Australia. Motorcycle speedway in Denmark refers to a motorcycle race that occurs on an oval track, which has loose mud on it. The race occurs for more than 4 anticlockwise laps. As the motorcycles are not allowed to have any brakes the rider uses the surface for powersliding and broadsliding along the bends. Along straight ways the motorcycles can reach speeds up to 70 miles/hr.

It is the Denmark Motor Union (DMU) that administrates the Motorcycle speedway sport in Denmark. The sport got introduced in the 1970s into Denmark. The famous Danish speedway riders are Nicki Pedersen, Hans Nørgaard Andersen and Bjarne Pedersen.

Speedway riders holding a Danish passport and a DMU valid license can compete individually in the Speedway Danish Championships. Rider’s entries must be submitted at least four weeks prior to the first competition meeting. Those who are straight away put into the finals are riders who have competed at the Danish Speedway Grand Prix or at the qualifying rounds of the World Championships in the previous season.
