Where history meets horsepower

The County
is back.

Lorain Raceway Park sat quiet after September 2025. In 2026, the Maggio and Whittenberger families reopened the gates for three special events to close out the season, bringing racers and fans back to one of Ohio's most iconic short tracks.

“We're incredibly excited to open the gates once again and give racers and fans the opportunity to make more memories at Lorain Raceway Park.”The Maggio and Whittenberger families
