Overview

The Glen Ridge Motorsports Park was originally constructed by brothers James and Jeffrey Hayes as a go-kart track in 2004, but it was soon reworked to accommodate full sized racing cars. The Hayes engaged a series of promoters over the first three seasons, eventually reaching an agreement with veteran driver Andy Romano and Hall of Fame car owner Jake Spraker in 2007. ^{[1] [2]}

In 2014 Mike Sowle and Pete Demetraszek, took over operations, then turned the reins over to current promoters Butch Hazzard, Ray Sefrin, and Mike Parillo in 2017. ^{[3] [4]}
