Motorsports Park Track Designer Announced

The National Corvette Museum has selected a track designer for the future NCM Motorsports Park. Steve Crawford, an architect and planner in the Seattle area, is no stranger to track designs. His first track opened in Colorado nearly 40 years ago, while his recent design work includes The Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, WA and Thunderhill Motorsports Park in Willows, CA.

"We are excited to begin working with Steve, but fundraising is still the top priority for us," Executive Director Wendell Strode said. "To date, we've raised nearly $1 million through our 'One Acre Club' campaign, but we still have a long way to go. Every little bit helps make this dream a reality."

Learn more about how you can become involved online here.

High Performance Driving Event Coming to Chicago Area

Join us for our 3rd annual High Performance Driving Experience with Hooked on Driving at the beautiful Autobahn Country Club in Joliet IL on Monday, October 1st. We will be utilizing the full track, a total of 3.56 miles of pure driving enjoyment. This is your chance to bring your American icon to the track.

Experience more of your car’s capabilities in a safer, yet fun, learning environment. Engineers and designers from the Corvette Team at General Motors will again be on hand to coach and talk to participants. Spectators are welcome and (spectator) rides with coaches will be available.

This one day event is $325 which includes lunch. Learn more here.
