Who Will Save Grattan Raceway? $15M Tag Stuns Track Fans

Grattan Raceway, a 2.0-mile gem tucked away in Western Michigan, is back on the market—and now it's asking a jaw-dropping $15 million. That’s more than double the rumored $7 million it quietly sought in 2023.

 

Key Points

  • Legacy: Opened 65 years ago and still owned by the founding family.

  • Facilities: Includes road course, motocross track, concessions, covered seating, and private pool.

  • Famous Fans: Celebs like Paul Newman, Tom Cruise, and Walter Payton once took laps here.

With over 4,000 feet of lake frontage and rising land values, it’s easy to imagine this becoming another lost track to real estate. But co-owner Kurt Faasen, now 72, hopes a buyer keeps the racing spirit alive.
