One-mile road course and slick track
New Castle Motorsports Park combines a one-mile, 28-foot-wide road course with a 950-foot back straight and multiple configurations, plus a separate paved slick-track oval and attached shorter road-course layouts. It hosts KRA club racing, national series, owner practice, public rentals and corporate events.
Two public rental routes

- Slick track: 13hp Honda karts with wraparound bumpers; no age minimum is published, but riders must be at least 54 inches.
- Minors: anyone under 18 needs a parent or legal guardian present to sign the release; road-course minors also provide proof of age.
- Equipment: road-course helmets and driving jackets are supplied, with full-length pants and closed-toe shoes required.
