We are proud to announce the 2021 National Trail Raceway Awards Banquet will take place on Saturday Night, January 29th at the Newark VFW Hall. 

We will be honoring the champions from the JEGS Wednesday Night Series, JEGS.com Jr. Dragster Series and our JEGS ET Series.  We will also be honoring all our special award winners that evening as well.

This season the Motorcycle class at the JEGS Wednesday Night series saw a familiar name at the top of the points standings at the end of the year, Marshall Hutchinson Jr. Hutchinson is always a rider to be reckoned with on the JEGS Wednesday Night Series and this year was no different.

We are excited to announce the 2022 National Trail Raceway drag racing schedule.  Next season is shaping up to be another great year for racers in Central Ohio.

Some of the highlights of the season will be the return of the Spring Import Face-Off April 24 and the Fall Import Face-Off September 4.

May 7 is the Hillbilly Nationals Demolition Drag Race which is a fun event for the whole family.

Hunter Wolfe entered the 2021 JEGS ET Series season as the reigning Division 3 High School Champion but still wanted to win more trophies.  The young man from Lancaster wanted to put his name on the JEG ET Series High School Championship trophy and that is exactly what he did this season.

New for 2022 the Trails 300 bracket race on August 26-28. 

This event will be limited to 150 Box and 150 No Box entries.  The classes will be separated with separate payouts.  This event will give both Box and No Box racers a chance to compete at National Trail Raceway for a little more payout but also not having to worry about super large car counts either.  The event will be pre-register only and spots will go on sale at the beginning of 2022.  We will also have a full flyer at that time as well.

A new class, Bottom Bulb, was added to the JEGS Wednesday Night Series in 2021 and it was designed for any racer either footbraking or using a transbrake and no delay boxes allowed.   The first ever Bottom Bulb champions was won by Dylan Spring, a young man that has become one of the rising young racers here at National Trail Raceway.

From everyone here at National Trail Raceway we would like to say congrats to Garreth Sheppeard on winning the 2021 NHRA Summit ET Motorcycle National Championship!  Garreth went to Las Vegas this past weekend representing National Trail Raceway on the biggest stage and took the win!

At the JEGS Wednesday Night Series events the Street class is always a fun class to watch as you get to enjoy racers compete with their street legal cars and the class is also usually one of the biggest during those Wednesday night races.  This year it was a familiar name, Michael Handschuh that was sitting at the top of the points standings at the end of the season.

The Lion’s Den Speed Angels class this season was a hotly contested battle between Karla Eveland and Mariah Strausbaugh.  These ladies competed at each of the JEGS Wednesday Night Series event during the summer chasing down the coveted track championship.  Once the points were tallied up, it was Karla Eveland bring home the championship.

The Big Dawg class this year was dominated by Woody Kilgore.  Woody was the king of the class from the very first race in May to the final race in August.  The ’92 Dakota that Kilgore raced this season is one of the winningest vehicles in the history of National Trail Raceway and Woody added to its prestige this season.
