South Georgia Motorsports Park, the NHRA division 2 race that was moved to Gainesville because they were transitioning into new management, received a interesting twist today. NHRA was looking forward to South Georgia Motorsports Park coming back once the new management team was in place. It now looks like South Georgia Motorsports Park will be sanctioned by IHRA. Below is a statement from IHRA about the multi-year agreement.

IRG Sports + Entertainment™ and the International Hot Rod Association™ (IHRA) are proud to announce South Georgia Motorsports Park has signed a multi-year sanctioning agreement to join the IHRA as a member track.

Located on U.S. 41 in Cecil, Georgia, South Georgia Motorsports Park (www.goracesgmp.com) is under new ownership. Ozzy Moya, of Orlando, Florida, also owns IHRA-sanctioned Lakeland Dragstrip in Lakeland, Florida and Orlando Speedworld Dragway in Orlando, Florida. Moya purchased South Georgia Motorsports Park earlier this month.
