IMEDC has stated the possible addition of a One Mile Paved Flat Oval to the site plan. The one mile oval to be a part of this multi-use motorsports facility would allow for the exciting possibility of attracting the high speed close competition of open wheel racing. Open wheel racing has been a part of the Minnesota racing history since the early 1900's. IMEDC stated that, "we would be very pleased to bring this exciting form of motorsports back to Minnesota."
