New Egypt, NJ – Upper Freehold/Hamilton Township Night just got a whole lot more fun this Saturday night at New Egypt Speedway.

Due to the threat of severe thunderstorms forecasted throughout the evening, we have decided to cancel tonight’s Firecracker 40, we will sit down with USAC East Coast officials to see if we are able to make up tonight’s event.

We hope to see everyone next Saturday night for Upper Freehold & Hamilton Township night presented by Premio Foods!

On Friday July 5^th New Egypt Speedway will be hosting the Fire in the Pines Fireworks show.
