Report
Background
Berlin Raceway is a 7/16-mile-long paved oval race track in Marne, Michigan,[6] near Grand Rapids. The track races weekly as part of the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series. It has also held touring series events on the ARCA Menards Series,[7] ARCA Menards Series East,[7] American Speed Association National Tour,[7] USAC Stock Cars, USAC Silver Crown, World of Outlaws Sprint cars, and World of Outlaws Late Model Series tours.
The track opened in 1950. It was originally a horse track before World War II. Berlin's current track record is 0:12.513 seconds, set by Brian Gerster in 2018 in a winged sprint car.[8] Berlin Raceway takes its name from the town of Marne's original name "Berlin," which was changed due to Anti-German sentiment following World War I.[9]
