Riverhead Raceway # 631-842-RACE (7223) Riverhead Raceway is one of the oldest stock car race tracks in the country, having been built in 1949. It is a one-quarter mile asphalt, high-banked oval which includes a Figure 8 course. The raceway is located one mile east of the last exit on the Long Island Expressway (LIE) at exit 73.

Riverhead Raceway is part of the NASCAR Winston Racing Series circuit and has been for most of its existence. It is the only NASCAR stock car track in the New York metropolitan area. It has five to six racing divisions every Saturday night with an average car count of 150 cars in the pits. Competition is fast and furious. Riverhead also features many special shows such as the Demolition Derby, Enduros and the NASCAR Featherlite Modified Tour.
