Milan Dragway is officially on the market as its owners have made the decision to sell the historic facility. Located less than an hour from Detroit, Michigan, the dragstrip has undergone significant renovations since the current owners purchased it in 2021.
In the last 30 months, the track has seen multiple upgrades, including new asphalt and concrete paving, improvements to restrooms, and renovations of the pro shop and clubhouse. Additional enhancements include a new P.A. system, upgraded lighting, and renewed landscaping.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been invested in equipment for dragstrip operations and grounds maintenance. The facility hosts over 100 event race days annually, attracting strong spectator attendance and diverse car counts.
“Operating a drag strip can be quite rewarding,” said CEO Perry Merlo. “We see how important Milan Dragway is to so many racers and families throughout the country, and in our state.”
Co-owner Harold Bullock noted the facility’s potential for activities beyond drag racing. “The Milan facility is situated in a market that also allows for potential activities outside of drag racing including mud bog, motocross and more,” he said.
Milan Dragway originally opened in 1964 on repurposed farmland and has hosted numerous national and major sanctioning body events.
