Burt Brothers Motorpark is a cool place for racing located in Grantsville, near Tooele, Utah, in the United States. It has had a few names over the years. From April 2006 to October 2015, it was called Miller Motorsports Park. Then, from November 2015 to March 2025, it was known as Utah Motorsports Campus. This track is used for many exciting events, including car, motorcycle, bicycle, and kart racing. It also hosts other fun activities.

About the Track

Aerial view of the circuit

The Burt Brothers Motorpark is a very large and well-known racing facility. It has different track layouts that can be used for various types of races. The park has been a popular spot for big events. For example, during the yearly Tour of Utah bicycle race, the park was famous for its special time-trial stage. This is where cyclists race against the clock to get the fastest time.

History of the Motorpark

The motorpark quickly became famous after it opened. On November 8, 2006, it was even named the "Motorsports Facility of the Year" at an event in Cologne, Germany.

Big Races and Events

In August 2007, the park announced a three-year deal to host the FIM Superbike World Championship. This is a huge motorcycle racing event! The first Superbike World Championship race happened there on June 1, 2008. To make things fair and interesting, the World Superbike races used a different part of the track (the Outer Course) than the AMA Superbike Championship, which used the Full Course.

Other major races also took place at the park. The American Le Mans Series and Rolex Sports Car Series raced there until 2010. After that, a K&N Pro Series West car race took their place in 2011. The AMA Superbike Championship also returned to the track in 2011.

The park also has an off-road racetrack. This track hosted rounds of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series from 2010 to 2018. A return was planned for 2020, but it was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In September 2021, the first-ever Nitro Rallycross event was held at the track.

Changes in Ownership

On May 8, 2015, it was announced that the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies, who owned the park, would not continue their lease. This meant the park was set to close on October 31, 2015.

However, there was good news! By July 2015, several groups were interested in buying the park to keep it open. On October 13, 2015, Tooele County decided to sell the park to Mitime Investment and Development Group. This company is part of the Chinese car maker Geely. The sale was for $20 million, and the track was renamed Utah Motorsports Campus. Mitime officially took over on October 31, 2015.

There was a small legal issue in December 2015, which temporarily stopped the sale. But by February 1, 2016, Mitime was managing the facility for Tooele County. The sale to Mitime was finally completed in November 2018.

Track Layouts

The Burt Brothers Motorpark has several different ways its track can be set up. This allows for many kinds of races and events. Each layout offers a unique challenge for drivers and riders.
