NCM Motorsports Park to get off-roading course

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – A new track is coming to the National Corvette Museum’s Motorsports Park and Warren County is an investor.

This morning at Warren County fiscal court, $35,000 from the special tourism project fund was approved to help pay for the new off-roading obstacle course.

The courses will be built for off-road vehicles such as trucks, jeeps and SUVs.

The venue will cater to drivers of different levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced, and will include a mud pit, log crawl, a sand pit and more.

“There is this really large community of folks that like to trail drive and what we are building is really an obstacle course,” said Mitch Wright, the Motorsports Park general manager.

This new track is an exciting new way Bowling Green can draw in more visitors, which bring more money to the area according to the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce CEO Ron Bunch.

The addition to the Motorsports Park is also aimed at bringing in more tourists to the Bowling Green area bringing cashflow into the area as well.

“They are spending money at the grocery stores. They are buying fuel. And, obviously the restaurants, we hear from the restaurants all the time. They know when we have something going on,” said Wright.

If the weather cooperates, Wright expects the groundbreaking in the next few weeks and the track to be completed in a month or so.
