Yes, 2025 is already upon us and there are a few January motorsport events lined up in Utah and the surrounding area.

Burned methanol washed over Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s “Bullring” oval track as the 2024 Bitnile Open Wheel Showdown blew into town, November 14 – 16. And methanol wasn’t the only atmospheric change. Not even the jets from nearby Nellis Air Force Base ripped the air like dozens of Modified, Supermodified, and Winged Sprint cars at full throttle. 

Competitors came from as far as New York, Florida, and British Columbia to vie for large purses. And plenty of Utah racers showed.

Automotive and motorsports events are few in December. Please email utahmotornews@gmail.com if you are aware of other non-recurring motorsport or automotive events in Utah or the surrounding area.

OPTIMA’s Ultimate Street Car Series (OUSCS), presented by Advance Auto Parts, is all about showcasing highly-modified, but still street legal, cars in a high-performance environment. The 2024 Lingenfelter GTL Class champion is none other than Utah driver Lane Farka.
