From Morgantown, WV
ROCK THE RACEWAY FROM MORGANTOWN WV
Morgantown, West Virginia is a key southern market for Rock the Raceway 2026. The drive north to Jennerstown Speedway Complex is about 75 miles, roughly 90 minutes via I-79, I-68, and US-219. The festival is Sunday, August 23, 2026.
The Morgantown route
From Morgantown, take I-68 east through Cooper's Rock and Bruceton Mills. Cross into Maryland and exit at Keysers Ridge (Exit 14). Pick up US-219 north into Pennsylvania, then continue through Meyersdale and Somerset to US-30 west into Jennerstown.
The route runs through the Cheat Mountain country and over the Eastern Continental Divide. Beautiful drive, no tolls, mostly four-lane.
WVU and Monongalia County fans
Morgantown, Westover, Granville, Cheat Lake, and the rest of Monongalia County all share the same straightforward route up. The August 23 festival lands on a Sunday, which puts it on the weekend before fall classes at WVU. Make a road trip out of it with friends before the school year picks up.
Stops along the way
Cooper's Rock State Forest is right off I-68 east of Morgantown and has one of the best overlook hikes in the region. Deep Creek Lake in Garrett County, Maryland is a short detour off I-68 and a great lunch stop. Once in Pennsylvania, Meyersdale is the natural rest stop before pushing north into Somerset County.
