Return to Blog Page

The New Egypt Speedway in New Egypt, New Jersey presents auto racing events on Saturday nights from April through October. It is considered the premier dirt oval track in the northeast. It is a beautiful, clean, well-maintained track that is considered one of the finest facilities in the country.

Rescued from ruin and completely rebuilt from the ground up in 1997, New Egypt Speedway is everything a fan-friendly entertainment facility should be. In 1998, motorsports promoters from all 50 states named New Egypt "Most Outstanding Rehabilitation of a Speedway," by Racing Promoters Monthly, a national association.


This put the central Jersey track in the national spotlight during Daytona Speedweek ceremonies.

The honor was well-deserved. The spic-and-span facility features a daylight-quality lighting system by Musco Lighting and excellent sightlines from the any seat in the grandstands. The track is fully wheelchair-accessible. The total reconstruction of the raceway, complete with heated restrooms and magnificent corporate suites, also features a monitored playground area for the littlest fans. Whistle-clean concession facilities serve up everything from sausage sandwiches to ice cream treats at family-style prices. The two fast-patter track announcers keep fans informed and involved with a state-of-the-art sound system enhanced by an Instant Replay digital audio unit. Plus, a state-of-the-art electronic scoreboard interfaces with the new scoring and timing system based on transponders mounted on every race car.


The speedway itself, a racy half-mile clay oval, plays host to some of the tightest, all-out wheel-to-wheel competition you'll ever witness. On average, close to 100 race cars compete weekly at New Egypt, plus some high-profile midweek special events.

New Egypt Speedway:

• Paid out in excess of $1 million in purses in 2021.


• Paid over $50,000 in cash point fund awards in 2021.


• Was the first Northeastern dirt track to introduce one-way

scanner communication between tower officials and the drivers,

greatly reducing unnecessary delays in the racing program.

system on Northeastern dirt, raising the bar of professionalism on

the short-track level.


• Tailors all racing entertainment to be family- and kid-friendly,

with tons of games and giveaways throughout the year.
