History
The club began league speedway in 1964, as part of the Soviet Union Championship. They won the silver medal in 1970 and 1971. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union the team continued to race in the Russian Team Speedway Championship, due to the lack of a team competition in Latvia. They won the bronze medal four times in 1995, 1996, 2001 and 2002.

The team withdrew from the Russian leagues to join the Polish leagues and twice won the 1. Liga in 2015 and 2016 but were not promoted to the Ekstraliga, which was restricted to Polish clubs.

During the 2020 Polish speedway season the club were relegated to 2. Liga.
