Marion County Raceway owners Katie Lotsberg and Kevin Jewer have signed a multi-year sanctioning agreement with the International Hot Rod Ass’n (IHRA).
The track, located in La Rue, Ohio, will become a part of the IHRA Summit SuperSeries program, the largest and national championship in bracket racing.
“We love IHRA. My fiancée, Kevin, and I have been drag racing for over 20 years,” Lotsberg said. “Many of the tracks we’ve raced at are IHRA and we wanted this track sanctioned by IHRA.”
The 39-acre property’s history dates back to 1969 when brother Bill and Tom Guthery opened the first motocross facility. The first drag race was later held in 1971 and over the next several years, Marion County attracted many of the big names of the sport including Don Garlits, Don Prudhomme and Shirley Muldowney.
The track can accommodate 450 race cars and upwards of 4,000 spectators. Racing is carried out on both the eighth-mile and quarter-mile depending on the class and program. It features a 2,600-foot-long shutdown area, the longest in the state of Ohio.
