North America's Longest Racetrack Will Soon Be Found In Nevada

As if there wasn’t already enough thrill and adventure waiting for you out in Nevada’s deserts, North America’s largest professional racetrack is coming to a small town just west of Las Vegas. Currently, the world’s largest is the Nürburgring Grand Prix Racetrack in Germany, a total of 13.1 miles long. Inspired by that number and looking to make a record of his own, one man has set out to create a large track, the largest in North America in fact, that will be set right in the middle of the desert. And we’re not talking just Go Karting (although they have that too). Like a scene out of Mad Max, this is one place that’s more than worthy of being added to your bucket list.

Just over an hour west of Las Vegas in the town of Pahrump is a luxury racetrack that's every car enthusiast's dream. When it comes to roadside attractions in Nevada (see what we did there?), this one can't be beat.

Out in the desert, surrounded by open spaces and mountains, the Spring Mountains Motorsports Ranch was bought by entrepreneur John Morris back in 2004.

The resort-style racetrack offers memberships to this little slice of paradise, where you'll have guaranteed track time and incredible amenities at your finger tips. In addition to access to the race track, driving lessons, and races to watch, the resort also offers a golf course, luxury condos, and a clubhouse to unwind in.

If you're really looking for an adventure you can enjoy flying with water jetpacks at Lake Spring Mountain! Talk about unique things to see in Nevada. This spot really takes the cake.

The resort is determined to be something out of every car lover's dream; you can even find two driving schools here that will have you driving in some of the most high performance vehicles. If you've always dreamed of speeding down a race track like a professional, now is your chance.

After purchasing more property, Morris is now on his way to making Spring Mountain the home of North America's largest racetrack.

With original plans to be a total of 15 miles long, the groundbreaking racetrack is set to be nothing short of epic. Follow along on the Spring Mountain Motor Resort social media to see the end result of the track expansion project.

Morris has also reported that there will be a six-mile off-road desert course for ATVs and trucks. Why stop at fancy cars? Here you can have your choice of vehicle.

With a 6,000 foot drag race track and go-kart racetrack coming to Spring Mountain as well!

So, who's excited to put the pedal to the metal on North America's largest racetrack? And perhaps most importantly, which vehicle are your trying your luck on the track with?

Would you ever go for a spin on one of these adventurous racetracks? Luckily, if this isn’t your speed (we did it again!), you can enjoy a cocktail in the clubhouse or a round of golf while your friends take their lives into their adventurous hands.
