Hi Rogue,

Just wondering if you have heard anything on a supposed Nascar track being built in Millville NJ? I did a search and only found 2 things and it was just NJ folks like me saying it would be a welcome addition to the area. I heard rumblings initially that some people in Millville were opposed to it for the obvious reasons, traffic and noise, but I think it would be great for their economy if anything. Not sure how many people from PA would make the trip there if they added it as a Nascar track. Might be a poll worthy question?

Thanks!

Thanks for the question Dave…Turns out it’s a good one. Here is what I found out.

I did some research and talked with Jayski, a NJ native and several other “Yankees” that have good information in this sport for our area and you are correct. There is a track that is built already and has races scheduled. ARCA will race its road course in August of this year. It is built on the old Millville airport grounds. It is called Thunderbolt raceway on NJMP..(New Jersey Motorsports Park) 

Apparently, this is to be a three phase multi-purpose raceway and it has several tracks on the property. I saw most of the plans for the track and I must say that I am really impressed. This will definitely be a one-of-a-kind facility and I believe it has the potential to be the biggest racing complex out there. I hadn’t really heard anything about this place until you asked the question. Here is just some of the info I have gathered…Oh and I found the website that explains it all!!! Kewl…Check this out. http://www.njmotorsportspark.com/index.html

I don’t know if NASCAR will race there though. They still have to get one to Kentucky yet and they have a hard time racing at facilities that they don’t own or control…LOL… Great question Dave and I hope this information helps you out!  Rogue
