With the Points Race over and the premium no longer on finishing, we can expect another month of wheel-to-wheel action at The Action Track. Located 3 1/2 miles east of Millville (turn right on Oriole Rd. and right again at Bottom Rd) The Action Track is still the place to be for the finest in dirt track competition.
