Among those from the area are Anthony Sesely (Matawan), Jimmy Blewett (Howell), Chris Allen (Old Bridge), Rob Schultz (Ocean), A.J. Jadacki (Howell), Dakota Kessler (Farmingdale), Vincent La Fazia (North Brunswick), Gabbie Olender (East Brunswick), Dalton Rovira (East Brunswick) and D.J. Doyle (Middletown).

Each night of racing features qualifying races leading up to the main event, with 24 cars competing on the tight concrete oval.

“This is the perfect time to run an indoor race,” promoter Len Sammons said in a press release. “The outdoor season is over, Christmas is a week away, and racers and race fans are ready for one last race before the New Year. A great time to get together with your racing friends before the holiday season.”
