New! Opening in 2005.
The U.S. MotorSport Entertainment Complex, developed by the U.S. MotorSport Entertainment Corporation, will carry a minimum assessment of $30 million and will be located on a 226 acre piece of land lying south of S. 24th Ave. E., immediately east of and adjoining the Newton Airport. The 7/8 mile, asphalt paved, oval motor speedway will include a 16 degree banking at the steepest point. The complex will also be complete with 42,020 permanent seats with the option of adding 40,000 temporary seats, concession facilities, pit and garage areas, ticket and administration office buildings. Planned events include auto racing and entertainment such as exhibitions, car shows, trade shows, concerts and other entertainment activities.
One of the most popular race car drivers in America, Rusty Wallace, will help lead the team in the first-ever driver-designed speedway. The Rusty Wallace signature track will be the first of its kind. The complex will also be home to an interactive race museum and a racing-themed restaurant. The museum is being tabbed the Rusty Wallace Interactive Experience and will include race memorabilia for traditional race fans along with an abundance of interactive opportunities. Upon entering the museum visitors will wear an electronic headset to guide them through the museum.
The complex will be surrounded by bright colors and will often feature live music and numerous vendors outside the racing area. Other plans include a natural tunnel between turns three and four to provide access to the infield. Plans also include an abundance of landscaping, color and testures both inside and outside of the complex.
ARCA, USAC and ASA have all agreed to sanction races at the complex. The U.S. MotorSport Entertainment Corporation also plans to petition the IRL for open wheel racing and NASCAR for a Craftsmen Truck and Busch Series event.
