Construction
The raceway was the idea of race driver J.R. Pesek. Pesek was quoted by KTVI as saying, "This part of the country, I think, is kind of starving for the track." The race circuit was built in the early 2020s on the site of a closed farm named 4 J Farms. The circuit was designed to minimize its effect to the land. Pesek was quoted as saying, "The trees and designing of the racetrack, we only took down what we had to. There wasn’t many we had to take down, we’re trying to respect the environment." A 58-bay garage was constructed from repurposed turkey barns. It has a control tower and media center. The construction utilized local labor, materials and primarily local companies.

In its debut year, it hosted the Porsche Sprint Challenge North America Cayman cars and USF Juniors on April 22 to 24.
