David Gribb of Succasunna, New Jersey, walked away with a 2026 Toyota Camry LE Hybrid as the grand prize winner of Meadowlands Racetrack’s Horseplay promotion.

“I love coming here and hanging out with everybody,” Gribb exclaimed after his name was drawn.  “This is great. Thank you to the Meadowlands for giving the car out.”
