One of the country’s most popular tracks is shutting down this year.
Miller Motorsports Park has announced on its website that the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies has elected to not renew its lease with Tooele County, meaning that the facility will be shut down at the end of the racing season on October 31, 2015.
The company did say that a full schedule of racing events, driving schools, public karting and group activities will be held this summer as planned.
Originally opened in 2006, Miller Motorsports Park quickly garnered the attention of numerous high-profile events including the American Le Mans Series and the Grand Am Rolex Sports Car Series. Unfortunately, many of the series chose to leave out the track from their schedules between 2010 and 2012 and has seen a decline of events in recent years.
The park’s original founder, Larry H. Miller, passed away in 2009.
“On behalf of my family, I would like to thank all of those who have supported the track over the years, both locally and worldwide, for their enthusiasm and use of the facility,” said Gail Miller, owner of the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies.
