NCM Motorsports Park Hosting Events As Clean-Up from December’s Tornado Continues

The National Corvette Museum has a history of making lemonade out of lemons that roll its way.

Remember the 2014 sinkhole that swallowed up several collectible Corvettes but in the aftermath of the disaster, the Museum recovered to see record attendance levels with exhibits that showed visitors what happened.

Then last December, a tornado struck the city of Bowling Green, causing severe damage to the NCM Motorsports Park.

But just as in 2014, that setback hasn’t stopped the Museum from picking up the pieces and roaring full steam ahead in 2022.

In fact, the North American Sportscar Association is holding an event at the Motorsports Park this weekend.

“It’s one of our largest events of the year, it brings in three regions to compete this weekend in various classes of cars that compete against time and each other,” Executive Director of the NCM Motorsports Park Greg Waldron said.

While the damage is being repaired, the park is operating out of a temporary building.

“We’re working diligently with some of our local vendors and some of our local contractors to get the buildings tore down and get them rebuilt,” Waldron explained.

He says the park is “just now hitting our stride and from now through probably toward the end of the year, we will be here every single weekend, we’ll have an event out here on the track.”

Waldron says enthusiasts should be on the lookout for “some announcements about some improvements, or at the very minimum, you know, the Holley Tower as we know it, will always be the same.”
