Muncie Dragway Owners Announce Historic Indiana Facility Is For Sale

One of the Midwest’s longest-running drag racing facilities is preparing for a new chapter.

The owners of Muncie Dragway announced last week that the historic Indiana racetrack has officially been put up for sale after fourteen years of ownership. While the news immediately generated discussion throughout the local drag racing community, racers and fans can expect business as usual for the remainder of the season.

The Daniels family emphasized that operations will continue uninterrupted while a buyer is sought.

“When we purchased Muncie Dragway, we told ourselves we would own it for five years, sell it, and get back to racing ourselves,” the family wrote. “Somehow, those five years turned into 14 amazing years filled with hard work, unforgettable memories, and friendships that will last a lifetime.”

Located 75 miles northeast of Indianapolis, the facility has been a fixture of Midwest drag racing since opening in 1960. Over the decades, the track has operated under multiple names, hosted major events, and served generations of racers. Today, it remains an IHRA-sanctioned facility and one of Indiana’s most well-known dragstrips.

“After much thought and prayer, we have decided it is time for a new chapter. Our family continues to grow, and we want to spend more time enjoying our grandchildren, attending ball games, school events, and making memories with the people we love most,” they wrote.

The family also reflected on the relationships built during their time at the track. “We say it all the time—Muncie Dragway has the best racing family anywhere. We hope we’ve played a small part in helping create a place where so many great memories have been made.”e“We hope we’ve played a small part in helping create a place where so many great memories have been made.”
