A major renovation project reaches near completion at National Trail Raceway as repaving of the race track, staging lanes and other areas have been completed.  

“It was our goal to have all operations fully functional by this weekend," said Scott Gardner, Chief Operating Officer. "However, we ran into some deep substrate issues at the very end of the shutdown area which has slowed our progress down a bit.”

The race originally scheduled for Friday, May 12 has been postponed to give the NHRA track prep specialists, who were brought in to assist the National Trail team, additional time to get the race surface in shape for the Spring Spectacle of Speed event planned for this Saturday, May 13. The Spectacle of Speed will be conducted as an 1/8 mile drag race due to additional work needing to be completed at the far end shutdown area.

The Spring Spectacle of Speed is a unique and new event to National Trail Raceway. The event features the King of Columbus, a Stock/Super Stock Shootout, United Manual Transmission Racers, Bracket classes and a Car Show. Gates open at 8 AM with racing underway at 11 AM. Adults are $20 which includes a pit pass.

National Trail Raceway was purchased by a new ownership group in March 2017 with extensive renovation plans in place. For more information about National Trail Raceway visit nationaltrailraceway.com.
