Alaska Raceway Park

Alaska Raceway Park is a racing facility near Palmer featuring two separate racing surfaces for different motorsport activities. The venue includes an asphalt oval track for stock car racing and a dedicated straight strip for acceleration events.

The facility began in 1964 as a dragway operated by local owners who gradually expanded motorsport offerings over the following decades. Over time it evolved from a simple acceleration strip into a complete racing venue hosting various competition classes.

This facility brings together local racing enthusiasts who gather to watch competitors from the region compete in various classes. The track serves as a social hub where neighbors meet to celebrate motorsport traditions and support drivers in their community.

The racing season runs from late spring through early fall, with most events held during evening hours when weather permits. Visitors should bring warm clothing and check ahead for event schedules, as dates vary based on seasonal conditions.

This racing venue operates at one of the farthest northern latitudes for motorsport in North America, serving drivers from a sparsely populated region. The remote location makes it a remarkable hub for local racing competition in an area where such facilities are exceptionally uncommon.
