Yesterday Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, N.J., informed NHRA that it will no longer host any drag racing events at its facility, effective immediately. This includes the 49th annual NHRA Summernationals, scheduled to take place this June.
NHRA president Glen Cromwell said:
“NHRA drag racing events have been held at the track in Englishtown for almost 50 years. The Summernationals have played an important part in our heritage and we hope that fans in the area will try to make it to another one of our events. Our focus remains on making the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing series a memorable experience for our fans, racers, sponsors, partners and tracks.”
No additional changes are anticipated for the 2018 Mello Yello NHRA Drag Racing schedule.
Upon hearing the news about the Englishtown track, the NHRA has received a significant level of interest from other track operators about hosting a national event in 2018. This might not be possible for 2018, but they’re definitely looking into it, if not for 2018, then perhaps for 2019.
