We would like to ask everyone to please read the following regarding the future of Norton Raceway Park.
In the middle of 2023 we reached a mutual agreement with the estate of the previous owner to access the property and begin the process of purchasing the property through probate, The facility was a mess and in need of extensive repair and updating in order to reopen, this included the need for approval from the City of Norton and that was granted. All of those repairs and months of hard work and labor were financially difficult to absorb. In late spring of 2024 we were finally ready to open the facility and the rest is another story. Here we are in December of 2025, the last two seasons were full of ups and downs, the support from the racers was never questioned as we feel our car counts overall were very solid! Our employees, families, racers, crews and those that just helped us week in and week out through some awesome weeks of racing and some very difficult times we say thank you again! Our special events certainly kept us motivated and positive as the fan count for those events were nearly sold out. Weekly asphalt racing has struggled throughout our area over the last several years and has made it extremely difficult for facilities to continue to operate solely on racing alone. All of this brings us to the point of today's post, we have had negotiations with a couple of interested buyers, those agreements were not completed and we had to move forward. Norton Raceway Park has officially been sold and will move into the next chapter under new ownership. The facility has been sold as a fully operational race track and can continue if someone steps up and comes to leasing terms with the new owner. As the facility moves on we leave it knowing we put our hearts into everything we did, sadly it just wasn't enough to stay operational any longer. Now someone else will have the opportunity to do the same and hopefully bring new ideas and keep the track moving forward. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts as this was one of the most difficult decisions to make but honestly we had no choice. Thank you all!
