Riverhead Raceway is one of the oldest existing stock car race tracks in the United States, having been built in 1949 and continuing to be successfully operational today.
Riverhead Raceway is a one-quarter mile asphalt, high-banked oval which also includes a world-famous Figure 8 course. The raceway is located one mile east of the last exit on the Long Island Expressway (495) at exit 73. This is where the north and south forks of Long Island begin, making the raceway just minutes from the Hampton resort area on the south fork and the wine country on the north fork. Riverhead Raceway is part of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series and has been part of the popular NASCAR family for most of its existence. It is the only NASCAR stock car track in the New York metropolitan area. With multiple racing divisions every Saturday night and hundreds of cars in the pits, competition is fast and furious. Riverhead also features many special shows such as the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, INEX Legends National Qualifier, NEMA Midgets, Enduros, Demolition Derby, School Bus Figure 8 & Demo, Monster Trucks and much, much more! We have grandstands on the frontstretch extending through the middle of turn 1 and 2. There are also grandstands on the backstretch. There are many great food concessions for fans as well as snack booths and also ice cream available. Beer is also available for purchase at several beer booths. We do not accept credit cards but do have an ATM on the premise.
