The 250 acre Route 66 Raceway was built in 1998 and consists of a quarter mile dragstrip and a half mile dirt oval track. The National Hotrod Association (NHRA) holds some of their events here. You can enter either from Schweitzer Rd, east of Hwy. 53 (Route 66) or from Hwy. 53.

xLike the Chicagoland Speedway this track is actually in Preston Heights but is commonly referred to as being in Joliet.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
