i wish it is donated to the state and made into green preservation or a golf course instead of building. my buddy has run the motocross division of the property for 35 years. i wonder how long the rest of the facility survives. the knapp family lives a few streets from me in colts neck.very nice people

According to The Capital Sports Report, the drag racing operations at Raceway Park officially shut its doors as of Tuesday night, January 16th, 2017. The facilities will now reportedly be used as storage for Copart, an online vehicle auction site.

While the facility's website is still displaying ticket prices and a weekend schedule for the 49th annual NHRA Summer Nationals, the NHRA released a statement earlier today confirming this year's event will not take place.

According to a release issued by the track's owners, the compound will still hold its numerous annual swap meets, car shows, motocross racing, kart racing, Clubloose drifting events, concerts festivals, and monster truck shows in 2018. The Old Bridge Township Airport, another piece of the property, will continue to operate normally.

The Napp family, which opened the raceway in 1965 and continues to operate it privately, decided to end drag racing, and convert the grandstand and about half the strip into an outdoor concert venue

This just appeared at another site. Info is different from the supposed "Coparts deal."
