Est: 1977
Welcome to the 47th Running of the High Point National. This year’s High Point National will serve as the fourth round of racing in the Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing.
COME CELEBRATE FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND!
High Point Raceway is home to round 4 of the prestigious 2023 Pro Motocross Championship. Nestled an hour south of Pittsburgh, PA and 10 minutes north of Morgantown, WV, the High Point National is the best way to get outside and enjoy the sun, your friends and family while watching the athletes of the most physically demanding professional action sport go bar-to-bar in intense, dirt-slinging action that is only found on 11 of the best motocross tracks across the country.
Along with hosting the world’s fastest Pro Motocross racers, the 2023 High Point National will also have an interactive Sponsor Village, Vendor Row, and local fare. Amateur practice is set for Friday with Amateur racing on Sunday.
There might not be a better place to see the grandeur of the sport of motocross on full display than Greene County’s High Point Raceway. This track weaves its way around a deep valley, treating the riders to constant elevation changes. From the slippery off-camber corners to the high-speed runs to and from the valley floor, no section of this track is completely flat, which makes it a true challenging and fun racetrack. But what makes it tough for the athletes makes it great for the spectators, because several vantage points atop the valley offer full views of the spectacle below. Further, High Point’s jumps were engineered to sit right in front of the main spectator areas, letting fans get close while they watch the riders go big. Some call it “moto theater” — a show filled with ups and downs, twists and turns.
Where did it all start? In the fall of 1976 brothers Jack and Carroll Holbert invited off-road pioneer Dave Coombs Sr. out to their family farm in Mt. Morris, Pennsylvania, to see if he wanted to build a motocross track there. High Point Raceway was founded shortly thereafter with the help in design by the visiting Maico factory team from Europe. Since then High Point has been among the pillars of American motocross, hosting a round of the AMA Po Motocross Championship since 1977 every year but one (2020 COVID-19), and countless off-road, regional and local motocross events.
Roam from vantage point to vantage point around the circuit, and experience the action from multiple areas. But no matter where you end up, you will be able to see nearly 100% of the race action, as High Point has a unique amphitheater design. And just as unique as the racetrack are the fans. Our fans are the best! They are tough, hardy and fun-spirited; they enjoy the outdoors and love their moto! High Point fans are Steeler fans, Pirate fans, Penguin fans, and above all Mountaineer Fans, which makes this southwestern Pennsylvania venue the perfect place to spend Father’s Day.
So take your dad to the races this summer, and celebrate 46 years of great racing memories at High Point Raceway with a few thousand of your friends!
