MotoAmerica Set For Return To Utah

The MotoAmerica AMA/FIM North American Road Racing Series will return to the spectacular state of Utah in 2016 for the Utah MotoAmerica Superbike Championship at the newly named Utah Motorsports Campus (formerly Miller Motorsports Park). The race will be round seven of the nine-round MotoAmerica series.

The Utah MotoAmerica Superbike Championship will begin on Thursday, June 23 and will conclude on Saturday, June 25 with the two featured MotoAmerica Superbike races. Friday and Saturday will also feature the two MotoAmerica Supersport, Superstock 600 and KTM RC Cup classes. Superstock 1000, meanwhile, will continue to race within the Superbike class with both those races scheduled for Saturday.

Monster Energy Graves Yamaha’s Josh Hayes won both of the Superbike races in Utah in 2015 after two hotly contested battles with his teammate, 2015 MotoAmerica Superbike Champion Cameron Beaubier. Yoshimura Suzuki’s Roger Hayden finished third in both of the races held in June.

Geely, the largest independent automotive company in China, recently reached an agreement with Tooele County in Utah to purchase Miller Motorsports Park and have renamed it Utah Motorsports Campus. The racetrack, which is located on the outskirts of Salt Lake City, has hosted both MotoAmerica and World Superbike racing since opening in 2006.
