- Berlin Raceway
Berlin Raceway is a 0.438 mile long paved oval rac etrack in
Marne, Michigan , near Grand Rapids. It opened in 1950. The track is notable for the lack of an outside wall on the back straightaway, a unique feature for a national series such as ARCA. In addition, the short straights make it feel almost circular.National Events
It is a stop on the ARCA and the CRA tour. The track was also a stop on the
American Speed Association tour before the series folded.Track Champions
