It had nothing to do with an earthquake but a regular state inspection last May found issues.
The good news - it's not structurally deficient but has some exposed girders and other stresses that do need repair.
A Freehold Township official tells me they need to do repairs ASAP, but racing is still going forward at this time.

In the time that the grandstand was being rebuilt after the fire, we continued in the tents. Froze in the winter and suffered from intense heat in summer until the grandstand reopened. I remember one really hot afternoon when the refreshment stands ran out of any kind of liquids and had to leave to get something to drink.
