NEW EGYPT, NJ (February 5, 2016) -- As the last bit of remaining snow melts after Winter Storm Jonas, Ocean County’s New Egypt Speedway is heating things up in preparation for their 2016 season opener – the March Madness Meltdown on Saturday, March 19.

“We’re excited to kick-start the season with a lucrative event highlighting two of our most popular racing divisions,” General Manager, Allyse Wolfinger said. “It’s been a few years since we’ve had the opportunity to have full control of the season opener and we’re putting forth a strong effort to make this one of the best events of the year.”
