UMI Performance has announced the acquisition of CNB Bank Raceway Park in Clearfield, PA. The property is a 5/8-mile asphalt oval located on 85 acres which hosted nearly 50 years of racing.

UMI plans to convert this property, now named UMI Motorsports Park, into a multi-use facility with an emphasis on UMI product testing as well as hosting autocross and road racing style events.

The asphalt oval configuration will be preserved as-is which will allow testing rental by professional oval teams as well as possible ride-n-drive events hosted by UMI Performance.

“The acquisition of CNB Bank Raceway Park from the Bainey family (longtime supporters of motorsports in our region) reinforces UMI’s commitment to building world-class muscle car suspension products. Adding a dedicated test venue to our already rigorous racing schedule will further ensure that reliability and performance are built into every UMI component," UMI President Ryan Kirkwood said.

Short-term plans include cosmetic improvements, a scoreboard and signage upgrade and paving work in the infield to enable product testing and short course road racing/autocross racing events.

Plans are already being made to host a soft opening for the August 2018 UMI Cruise-In Autocross at the new UMI Motorsports Park.

UMI Performance is the manufacturer of race car suspension systems and parts, based out of Philipsburg, Pennsylvania.
