WHITELAND, Ind.–Whiteland Raceway Park (WRP) recently came under new ownership as former IndyCar team owners and partners Sarah Fisher, Andy O’Gara and Wink Hartman joined together to save the historic race site. The purchase was part of a last-ditch effort to prevent the track from being bulldozed.
Whiteland Raceway Park, the oldest kart track in the country, is a nine-turn road course featuring an oval and the only high-banked turn in the state. The partners are working out details for what will happen in the track’s revitalization, but have already started the planning and cleanup process.
WRP will continue to operate throughout the remainder of the 2018 season, fulfilling the three remaining races in addition to a number of practice days. The track will be open by the end of the month and is on schedule to maintain the October 13 and October 27 races. The September 22 event will be rescheduled.
