About this track
Opened September 5–6, 2026. Built on more than 300 acres of former timber land by owners Bradley and Tawan Reid, after about two years of work. Facility includes a quarter-mile concrete surface, viewing tower, grandstands, restrooms and parking. Joined the NHRA Member Track Network in July 2026, which makes it eligible to run the NHRA Summit Racing E.T. Series presented by Hoosier, the Summit Jr. Drag Racing League, NHRA Street Legal and Jr. Street. Opening weekend was deliberately test and tune plus grudge racing, to lay rubber on fresh concrete before points racing begins.
Camping and RV parking
Unconfirmed. The facility sits on more than 300 acres and published coverage of the opening lists a concrete track, viewing tower, restrooms, grandstands and parking areas — no camping or RV hookups are mentioned.
