Berlin raceway 2015 crash video
Berlin Raceway is a 0.4375 mile long paved oval race track in Marne, Michigan, near Grand Rapids. It opened in 1950. The track is notable for the lack of an outside wall on the back straightaway, a unique feature for a national series such as ARCA. In addition, the short straights make it feel almost circular. Berlin's current track record is 12.799 seconds at 123.197 mph, set by Jim Swain in 2010 in a winged sprint car.
Contents
Berlin Raceway takes its name from the city of Marne's original name "Berlin," which was changed due to Anti-German sentiment following World War I.
National events
It is a stop on the ARCA and the CRA tour. The track was also a stop on the American Speed Association tour before the series folded.
