The plaque commemorates the Rowley Park Speedway which operated at this location from 1949 to 1979.
Rowley Park Speedway is a former dirt track racing venue that was located on Torrens Road in Brompton, South Australia and supplanted the Kilburn speedway (1946–1951) and the earlier Camden motordrome (1935–1941). The speedway ran continually during Australia's speedway seasons (usually October to April) from its opening meeting on Wednesday 21 December 1949 until its last meeting on Friday 6 April 1979.
