York County, Pennsylvania – December 1, 2023
The BAPS Motor Speedway management team is proud to announce construction and formalized plans for a new micro racetrack named McGrewBid Motoplex.
“Having a talented General Manager like Kolten Gouse on our team means we can think big with ideas to grow our audience base,” comments Owner, Scott Gobrecht. “Why not build a second track that can run different cars on different nights?”
Already securing a five-year naming rights deal with McGrew Equipment’s online auction platform known as McGrewBid, the nationally recognized Gobrecht-Gouse duo set expectations high to attract a new micro sprint community.
“It just makes sense,” states Gobrecht when asked about the McGrewBid naming rights deal. “We’ve been doing business with the McGrew portfolio of companies for several years now and we share a lot of the same customers. They have a need to reach a bigger audience for the online equipment auctions and we can deliver for them.”
The establishment of McGrewBid Motoplex marks a historical milestone for the already motorsport-rich Pennsylvania landscape. The first notable accounts of PA auto racing can be traced as far back as the early 1900s. However, McGrewBid Motoplex will be the first new PA racetrack built in over three decades.
“There hasn’t been a racetrack built in Central Pennsylvania in over 30 years,” Gouse elaborates, “and we are extremely excited to share this historic undertaking with our partners, race teams and passionate fans.”
Design-Build plans for the McGrewBid Motoplex include progressive banked corners on a 1/5 mile oval configuration with an expedited program the modern race fan wants.
“A big focus of ours for both tracks in 2024 is to give the audience faster moving events. Having a three division self-start program is one of the strategies for our inaugural season at McGrewBid Motoplex,” remarks Gobrecht.
BAPS is also happy to announce that Hyper Racing has agreed to become title sponsor for the marquee micro divisions which will feature 600 winged, 600 wingless, and JR Sprints.
“Dicely and I go way back,” Gobrecht referencing Hyper Racing Owner Mike Dicely. “Now his company is one of the premier micro sprint suppliers in the country…right down the street from us. It’s like we were meant to do this together all along.”
The development and construction phases of McGrewBid Motoplex is already underway, with a planned completion date of May 2024. The inaugural season’s schedule of events is expected to be released early next year.
