There’s a huge complex perched along the Virginia border in Summit Point, West Virginia that is known far and near among car-racers as one of the best motorsports tracks in the nation, and yet many others in West Virginia have never even heard of it. Are you familiar with Summit Point Motorsports Park in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle and all it has to offer in terms of motor-sporting events and opportunities?

Events on this circuit run from March to November, and include car races, motorcycle races, and even a vintage car race.
