Bowling Green Company Signs on as Sponsor of Motorsports Park

Abbey Oldham

The National Corvette Museum has landed another major sponsor for its Motorsports Park that will open in September. 

Holley Performance Products will sponsor a 12,600-square-foot control tower and event center. 

"It's a two-story building.  The bottom floor consists of classrooms, a lobby, and a retail area," said Motorsports Park General Manager Mitch Wright.  "The second floor will be the race control area, and in addition to that, there will be a 2,100-square-foot viewing deck up there."

Holley is the second major company to sign on as a sponsor of the park, joining Michelin Tires. 

Construction is about a week ahead of schedule for the track’s grand opening on Labor Day weekend. 

The Motorsports Park features a three-mile road course on nearly 200 acres just across I-65 from the Corvette Museum.
