New Egypt Speedway, clay race track
New Egypt Speedway is a racing track in New Jersey with a D-shaped clay surface that measures roughly three-eighths of a mile. Weekly races draw over 100 competitor vehicles of various classes, including Big Block Modifieds and sprint cars, while special events feature demolition derbies and endurance competitions.
The speedway was founded in 1946 as a dirt track and was paved in the 1960s. After years of abandonment, the Grosso family purchased the facility in 1997 and rebuilt it as a clay oval, earning national recognition for their restoration work.
The speedway serves as a gathering place for the regional racing community. Fans return week after week to support local drivers and share a common passion for motorsport that brings together families, friends, and enthusiasts from nearby towns and beyond.
Parking is available on gravel surfaces and seating is provided in the grandstands for comfortable viewing. Visitors can bring small coolers but glass containers are not permitted, and the facility accepts all major credit cards for purchases of fuel and other items on site.
The speedway is known as a launching point for young drivers beginning their racing careers and competing alongside experienced racers. This role as a training ground for newcomers sets it apart from many other tracks and keeps the racing fresh with new talent.
