Owners of Racing Park in NJ end Summernationals drag racing

ENGLISHTOWN, N.J. (AP) — The NHRA Summernationals no longer has a home.

The owners of Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey have informed the NHRA they no longer will host drag racing events, effective immediately.

The Napp family, which has owned and operated the track since its opening in 1965, announced Tuesday a reorganization of the company's business operations.

While drag racing on the quarter-mile or eighth-mile track will end immediately, Raceway Park will use the stadium portion of the facility to continue most of its operations, including auto swap meets, numerous car shows, motocross and kart races and other events.

The 49th annual NHRA Summernationals was scheduled to take place this June.
