The track has undergone significant upgrades since the Northup family took over the property in 2021. They’ve added 250 feet of shutdown as a safety measure and poured tons of concrete. It has paid off with some great racing at Gleason Raceway Park, including IHRA Summit SuperSeries points races this weekend.
