Miller Motorsports Park
With the recent announcement that the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, will be coming to Miller Motorsports Park on Aug. 17, 2013, the remainder of the track’s 2013 schedule has now been finalized and season passes are now on sale. The 2013 schedule will be quite a bit different from recent years, with the first major event of the season not taking place until late June and a jam-packed schedule throughout August and September, but track officials are pleased with the number and variety of events planned. The first major event will be the fourth annual visit by the popular Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, which will return on the weekend of June 22-23. The series will compete on the high-speed Off Road Short Course, and its high-flying, door-banging excitement has proven to be extremely popular with Utah fans. August will be the big month for motorcycle racing enthusiasts, kicking off with the GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing series on Aug. 3-4, featuring four different championships — the National Guard SuperBike Championship, GoPro Daytona SportBike Championship, Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport Championship and the Vance & Hines XR1200 Championship. Two weeks later, on Aug. 17, the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship will make its first appearance in Utah since 1973, racing on a brand-new, purpose-built, national-caliber track located in the infield of the main road racing track at Miller Motorsports Park. The final major event of the season will take place over the weekend of Sept. 14-15, as the Utah Grand Prix returns with the seventh annual appearance by the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West. The thundering stock cars will be joined by the Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy West and other series to be named in the near future. o purchase tickets or obtain information regarding Miller Motorsports Park, visit the track’s website at www.MillerMotorsportsPark.com or call 435-277-RACE (7223).
