Motorsports Industry to Rev Up Pennsylvania  State Capitol on Tuesday
Commonwealth  to Declare Statewide “Motorsports Week”  


 
The Motorsports Industry will Gather at the  State Capitol June 13th 
 


 
Tuesday June 06, 2017
Harrisburg,  PA--The United States Motorsports Association (USMA) will host 
the  Pennsylvania Motorsports Legislative Summit & Rally on Tuesday June  
13, 2017 at the State Capitol in Harrisburg.  Race track owners,  promoters 
and racing related businesses are scheduled to attend, where  they will be 
meeting with their legislators and promoting the benefits of  motorsports for 
Pennsylvania.  In addition to the USMA Summit,  Representative David M. 
Maloney, Sr. (Chairman of the PA Motorsports  Caucus) has introduced a 
resolution designating June 10th through June  17th as "Motorsports Week" across the 
Commonwealth.  
“Pennsylvania is the 4th largest state in the  nation for number of race 
tracks including over 540 racing events taking  place annually and home to 
nearly one-hundred businesses that rely on  the racing industry,” said Rep. 
Maloney.  “For example, a study by  East Stroudsburg University found that 
Pocono Raceway contributed $257  million to the income of Northeast residents, 
created 2,700 new jobs and  generated $23 million in local, state and federal 
tax revenue in 2013  alone. Motorsports are enjoyed by millions of 
Americans and it is an  economic boom to Pennsylvania that should be embraced by  
policymakers.”  
The USMA is conducting a national study of  motorsports called the 
Motorsports Impact Report.  The  report has uncovered over 8,700 vehicles in the 
state used for racing  competition.  This does not include race cars competing 
in the state  from other parts of the nation, such as the National Hot Rod 
Association  (NHRA) event held in September at Maple Grove Raceway. Nearly 
half of the  tracks are dirt oval with motocross facilities coming in a close 
second.   
PA Motorsports Week kicks off with the NASCAR races  at Pocono Raceway in 
Long Pond.  Williams Grove Speedway, which  opened its doors in 1939 in 
Mechanicsburg, will host a major USAC sprint  car race mid-week.  PA Motorsports 
Week will conclude with the 41st  running of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross 
race at High Point Raceway in Mt.  Morris.  Several tracks around the state 
will be hosting their local  and state public officials during Motorsports 
Week.  
As one of the original 13-Colonies Pennsylvania has  a rich American 
history.  The state recognizes racing’s significance  as part of this history.  
Motorsports is also identified as a major  economic driver for the future 
contributing millions in positive economic  impacts, primarily to smaller rural 
communities. 
The PA Motorsports Summit is free to any industry  related race track, 
series, racing competitor or business.  To attend  the Summit you must register
