����ǿ�� has announced the addition of Pine Valley Raceway in Lufkin, Texas, to its ����ǿ�� Member Track Network.
��
Originally built in 2004, the track reopened in 2023 under the leadership of Buck and Austin Hayward, also joining the ����ǿ�� Member Track Network for the first time. The family has already made several improvements to the ����ǿ�� Division 4 facility with the goal of making it a top-notch racing facility in East Texas and to bring sanctioned ����ǿ�� events to the track.
��
“In 50 years of supporting drag racing manufacturing timing systems, installing timing systems to building tracks, I never thought I would ever find myself as a track operator. After thinking about retiring, all I can think about now is how we can make Pine Valley Raceway into the premier track in East Texas,” said Buck Hayward, son of Art Hayward, who served as the ����ǿ�� Electronics Director for 30 years.
����
Added Austin Hayward, who also serves as the ����ǿ�� Timing System Specialist: “We wanted to make a big change coming into Pine Valley, and what better way than bringing a new track into the ����ǿ�� Division 4 network. We hope to do big things out here. I think with the knowledge my dad has and the drive and passion we both share for drag racing, you'll see Pine Valley become bigger than ever.”
��
As one of the 120 ����ǿ�� member tracks, Pine Valley Raceway will be eligible to offer racers in the area a variety of ����ǿ�� racing opportunities in the future, including the ����ǿ�� Summit Racing Series, the ����ǿ�� Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League, ����ǿ�� Street Legal, ����ǿ�� Jr. Street, and more. Additionally, the track will have the chance to host ����ǿ�� specialty events like the ����ǿ�� Summit King of the Track and more.
��
The quarter-mile track started its 2023 racing season earlier this month and will play host to racers throughout the year as it aims to become a marquee destination for competitors in the region.

“We’re excited to welcome Pine Valley Raceway to the ����ǿ�� Member Track Network for the first time,” ����ǿ�� Division 4 Director Mady Ayesh said. “Buck and Austin have such strong passion and knowledge when it comes to drag racing, and it’s great to already see their dedication to making this a standout facility in Division 4. We’re thrilled with their involvement and look forward to bringing ����ǿ�� events to their facility.”
