Berlin Raceway has already introduced big infrastructure improvements this season with the addition of a courtyard area, the Brickyard Lounge and an extended Mini-Wedge track.
More improvements are expected now that a $50,000 payout is coming to Marne-based short track after it took top honors in a national contest.
NASCAR.com reported Wednesday night that Berlin has won the Advance My Track Challenge via an online poll that was open May 9-10. Berlin accrued the most votes in a poll that consisted of six NASCAR-sanctioned short tracks across the country. The contest was sponsored by Advance Auto Parts, a leading automotive aftermarket parts retailer and entitlement sponsor of the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series.
“We look forward to building upon this great opportunity provided by Advance Auto Parts,” Berlin first-year president Jeff Striegle said. “We will enjoy sitting down together as a team and planning our exciting improvements for the facility.”
The Advance My Track Challenge began on March 24 with 22 NASCAR home tracks across the United States and Canada represented in the program’s first round of voting. Fans voted up to three times daily in the first round, which concluded April 27. The six tracks receiving the most fan votes advanced to this week’s final round of voting.
“This honor belongs to the West Michigan community, the fans, the race teams and the staff of the Berlin Raceway,” Striegle said. “I could not be prouder of the support we received both locally and nationwide. It’s a privilege to work for a track that has a legacy like the Berlin Raceway does.”
Berlin is in its 71st season of hosting racing. Berlin Raceway will host an Advance Auto Parts-themed night for fans during an upcoming weekend of racing. Advance also awarded $15,000 to the track finishing with the second-most votes, New Hampshire’s Hudson Speedway. The third-place track, Alaska Raceway Park in Palmer, Alaska, received a $10,000 prize.
“We are thrilled to award the grand prize to the DeWitt family and their fantastic team at Berlin Raceway,” said Jason McDonell, Advance’s executive vice president of merchandising, marketing and E-commerce in a statement. “It’s been incredible seeing the passion from the track team and their fans as they rallied to support their local track throughout the program.
“The ‘Advance My Track Challenge’ had a great first year, and our message to race fans is, we’re just getting started. This program plans to return next year, as our team at Advance continues to support grassroots racing across NASCAR’s home tracks.”
Berlin will host Limited Late Models, Sportsman, 4-Cylinder and Mini-Wedge competition Saturday beginning at 4 p.m.
