Roxboro Motorsports Park, a 42-acre facility featuring an 1/8-mile drag strip in Timberlake, North Carolina, has entered into a multi-year sanctioning agreement with the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA).

Roxboro Motorsports Park features a strong grudge racing contingent and a growing bracket racing program.

“We’ve got a good bunch of bracket racers and we have some good grudge races coming up,” Track Owner Jody Williams said. “We feel the IHRA Summit SuperSeries will help us on the bracket racing end. We’re just trying to improve everything and see where it goes.”

The 2019 schedule opens on Sunday, March 17, with a St. Patrick’s Day food drive, test-n-tune and a gambler’s race. Points racing for the IHRA Summit SuperSeries begins six days later on Saturday, March 23.

Roxboro Motorsports Park will also now be eligible to compete in the IHRA Division 1 (Patriots) Summit Team Finals.

First opened in 1959 as Person County Dragway, the track was renamed Roxboro Dragway in 1970 and later to Roxboro Motorsports Park in 2006. Five years ago, the track also underwent a major upgrade which included grinding and polishing the track, new electronic timing and sensors and renovated restrooms.
