WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) member track Capitol Raceway, Gambrills, Md., has been named the Division 1 Track of the Year.

Capitol Raceway has been one of the top drag strips in the country with many legendary names racing down the track such as Don Garlits, Don Prudhomme, Ronnie Sox, and more. The track was famous for its "King of Kings" Funny Car events. Funny Cars teams throughout the country would attend the race for a winner take all purse.

Cited for growth of the IHRA Summit Superseries and the willingness to listen to the racers is what makes Capitol Raceway the Division 1 Track of the Year.

"Jim is a constant in the pit area during weekends talking to racers and being one on one with his dedicated staff to improve racing and events.
