Alamo City Motorplex, located in Marion, Texas, just east of San Antonio, has joined the NHRA Member Track Network in Division 4, the South Central Division.

Opened in 1999, Alamo City Motorplex (formerly San Antonio Raceway) will become a valued addition to the NHRA South Central Division, the NHRA said.

Alamo City Motorplex was also recently purchased by Essie Mianabi. Madyson Ayesh will oversee the day-to-day operations as the track’s general manager. Ayesh previously served as the track manager for Kansas International Dragway.

As an NHRA-sanctioned track, the facility will be eligible to offer racers a variety of NHRA racing opportunities, including the NHRA Summit Racing Series, the NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League, NHRA Jr. Street and the NHRA Drags: Street Legal Style presented by AAA. Additionally, the track has the opportunity to host NHRA’s specialty events including the NHRA.tv Challenge, NHRA Summit King of the Track, Ellis County Auto Good Guy Challenge Series, and NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League Challenge.                

“Our goal and vision for Alamo City Motorplex is to bring our racers and fans the premier drag racing experience in South/Central Texas,” Ayesh said. “Through consistency, transparency, and honest business practices, we will execute our vision and provide our racers, fans, and business partners a positive, prosperous and enjoyable racing experience.”

Alamo City Motorplex is a multi-use facility boasting a quarter-mile drag strip, drifting track and concert venue. Both 1/8-mile and 1/4-mile events are on the track’s 2019 schedule.
