My home track from NYC, go there twice a year to race karts in the New
Jersey Sprint Series regional championship; the kart track is great.
Might go watch ARCA or Grand-Am there next year.

Didn't realize Andrew Ranger's won here 4 times in a row in the ARCA
Series. Must be really good here, considering he was a former Champ Car
driver

Interesting fact: Dodge has won 7 straight ARCA races here.

This track was built in 2008 and is actually two separate road courses
on the same property. It neighbors the Millville Executive Airport, the
current incarnation of the former Millville Army Air Field where pilots
trained to fly warbirds like the P-47 Thunderbolt and P-40 Warhark
before going into combat in World War II. The facility's main 2.25-mile
track, used for the big races, has been nicknamed the Thunderbolt
Raceway in reference to the P-47 while the separate 1.9-mile course is
similarly dubbed the Lightning Raceway in reference to the P-38
Lightning, another American fighter during the war.

There were plans when this facility was built for the property also to
include a tri-oval track, somewhere between 0.75 to one mile in length,
for stock car racing but it was never constructed. IIRC that's part of
the reason the track landed its ARCA race was because they would run the
road course for a few years and then switch to the oval when it was
built but that never happened.
