does anybody think that the Truck, Nationwide or Truck Series should
race here?

IndyCar should.

One of the most unique tracks there is. What a shame

Recently purchased. Racing will continue under the new name, 'Utah
Motorsports Campus'.

Will hold a NASCAR West weekend again, which will see the guys taking to
the track for TWO races. Not even kidding you. According to the site,
Utah Motorsports Campus is holding a doubleheader. Well, hopefully it'll
make up for Phoenix's removal.

Oh uh, no one's given this track an overview, so I guess I will. Utah
Motorsports Campus, formerly Miller Motorsports Park, is a massive
facility in Tooele, Utah, containing a road course, along with I believe
a motocross track and karting layout. Its main road course has four
layouts, the longest of which measures in at a bit under 4.5 miles,
making it the second longest road course in the nation (Thunderhill's
full course is a tenth longer). The track, which once saw ALMS and RSCS,
along with I think either MotoGP or World Superbike, has run into hard
times, and seemed set to close in 2015, but thankfully that didn't
happen. We'll have to see exactly what the future has in store, as it
currently sees Trans Am, NASCAR West and Pirelli World Challenge.

With its new lease on life, I wonder if any of the top 3 series in
Nascar would add this track to the schedule?

This track was built in 2005 and opened in early 2006. The Tooele County
government acquired the track from the previously titular Miller family
in 2015 and just sold the track in 2018 to Chinese automobile
manufacturer Geely. The Geely sale makes the Tooele track the first
major, non-private American auto racing facility to be owned by a
foreign company.

I know that post is old, but, Truck, Xfinity, and Trucks? I think we
have a miss-type.

Most certainly...unless they meant the FIA European Truck Racing
Championship in which case that would be awesome.

Looks like there hasn't been racing here in 2 years. Hopefully this new
ownership group pushes to get the track a race in the top 3 series of
NASCAR. Utah would be a good market to try to expand into. The more
states we can hit, the better.

FIA Euro Trucks...nah. Bring back GATR /sarcasm.

Wondering if this track could return on the bike side of things too,
didn't the AMA/WSBK gys run here a few times? Seem to remember that. I'd
rather see sports cars here personally IMHO. No way NASCAR adds this
track before the contracts are up with the existing tracks, plus it's
not SMI/ISC owned so I feel that'd hurt its chances.

Well yeah, nothing's getting added until 2020. I'd ideally like to see
this track host a KNPSW race and a WSCC race to start out with (of the
series I follow, I don't really follow bikes, so idk if that would be a
good place for them to go or not.) Then they could try to grow from
there. Maybe get a Truck race in the next contract with NASCAR.

This track still hosts high level races, the Pirelli World Challenge has
a round here annually.

Oh, ok. I didn't realize that. I don't really follow that series.

Just announced that it will be on the ARCA Menards Series West calendar
this season. May 23 is the race date.

I guess they weren't lying when they said the schedules weren't
finalized, lol. Still I'm glad it's back, always loved this track.

Anybody else think this venue would be a good fit for IndyCar? Some of
the best facilities of any racetrack out there, right with ISC/SMI
faciltiies.

IndyCar and/or NASCAR Truck Series would be a good fit (they could use a
2nd or 3rd road course in Trucks)
