The National Hot Rod Association made a big announcement on Tuesday concerning the Uintah Basin: NHRA officials have announced the build of a new NHRA-sanctioned track as part of Division 7 with the upcoming Apex Racing Foundation in Utah’s Duchesne County. Groundbreaking for Apex Racing Foundation will take place at 11am on December 22nd at 20221 West 5500 South in Duchesne City, bringing NHRA drag racing back to the state. Led by Apex Racing Foundation advisory board members, the group pushed for the birth of a new facility in Duchesne, showcasing an impressive enthusiasm to build a new track. “The future of the track will not only mean so much to Duchesne County, but the state of Utah as well,” Apex Racing Foundation advisory board member Rhett Greenhalgh said. “Future generations will benefit from this establishment for years and years to come. We strive for a safe environment, and with NHRA with us, the sky is the limit. We’re looking forward to the future!” The group has also received strong support from the local government, as the group plans to go full speed ahead on the building process in 2026.
