The track features 19 turns and 150 feet of elevation change, and 1,200 feet of elevation change during a single lap. Track owner and president JR Pesek and his crew took nearly three years to build the facility, consulting with everyone from the Army Corps of Engineers to global engineering, manufacturing and motorsports powerhouse Multimatic. Pesek’s in-house team moved about 3 million cubic yards of dirt, but left as many trees in place to create a park-like setting.
