TRACK PROFILE
Berlin Raceway is a 0.438 mile long paved oval race track in Marne, Michigan, near Grand Rapids. It opened in 1950. The track is notable for the lack of an outside wall on the back straightaway, a unique feature for a national series such as ARCA. In addition, the short straights make it feel almost circular.

It is a stop on the ARCA and the CRA tour. The track was also a stop on the American Speed Association tour before the series folded.
