MILLVILLE — The biggest name in racing is coming to the Holly City next year — with NASCAR’s K&N Pro Series East being held at New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP).
The race is scheduled for Sept. 17 at the Millville road course.
The K&N Pro Series East is part of NASCAR’s developmental program where drivers can gain experience and exposure in stock-car racing.
“This helps prepare the drivers for the next level,” said Chris Wright, director of the race, in an announcement. “Road-course racing is a unique discipline that will test our drivers and we welcome the addition of New Jersey Motorsports Park to our schedule.”
NJMP is in its ninth racing year and this is the first time NASCAR is visiting the track.
“NASCAR and track officials have been working diligently to bring this event to NJMP,” said Brad Scott, chief operating officer of the park. “We have finally made this dream a reality for everyone involved, particularly our fans.”
