NEW EGYPT — New Egypt Speedway will remain dark in 2026, as the track’s longtime owner announced he will not operate the facility for another year.
Fred Vahlsing, who has overseen the Route 539 dirt oval for 19 seasons, said he does not plan to reopen the speedway for racing next year. He added that he is open to selling the property or allowing another operator to take over the venue for future seasons.
While racing is on hold, the site will continue offering truck parking and available space for lease. VP Racing Fuels will also remain for sale at the property.
The quarter midget track is expected to stay active under the South Jersey Quarter Midget Association.
New Egypt Speedway is located at 720 Route 539. More information is available at newegyptspeedway.net or by calling 609-758-1900.
