Tucked into the heart of Old Bridge Township in Englishtown, New Jersey, Raceway Park has been a fixture in the Northeast drag racing scene for decades. Its location just off Route 9 gives it easy access from both central Jersey and the outer edges of the New York metro area, making it a go-to weekend destination for local gearheads, weekend racers, and NHRA fans. Historically known as the longtime home of the NHRA Summernationals, the track continues to balance big-event energy with a consistent local racing culture. What sets Englishtown apart is its mix of professional and grassroots events. You’ll find everything from NHRA national events drawing top-tier competitors to weekly bracket racing and Test & Tune nights that welcome local drivers looking to dial in their street cars. The schedule also includes autocross, drift sessions, and high-performance driving events, so even if you’re not into full-throttle drag runs, there’s a lane for you. Spectators get clear sightlines from the grandstands, especially during marquee race weekends, while corporate and club groups often book trackside space for private functions. Given its size and frequency of programming, it’s especially well suited for hobby racers and enthusiasts who want regular access to a safe, staffed facility without traveling deep into rural areas.
