Originating in 1968, Firebird Raceway is a quarter-mile drag racing facility that was created to provide family entertainment at an affordable cost. Over the course of over five decades, Firebird has stayed true to that founding principle, as more than fifty events are offered during the April to October drag racing season.

Firebird has been continuously operated by the New family and its staff since its inception. We are proud to be aligned with and a member track of the National Hot Rod Association. All of us at Firebird are dedicated to providing a first-class facility for racers and fans of all ages to enjoy drag racing at its finest.
