High Point History
In late 1976, brothers Jack and Carol Holbert reached out to race promoter Dave Coombs with the hopes of building a motocross track on their family farm. Coombs would break ground on the track and undergo later renovations after the Maico Factory Racing team visited the facility and gave their feedback. From there, their basic layout has remained the same over the years with only changes coming within the existing facility. The track has hosted a round of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship each year since opening in 1977. Additionally, the facility hosted the first-ever AMA National Hare Scramble in 1979 and would see a round of the Grand National Cross Country Series from 1987 until 2002. In 2018, GNCC Racing returned to High Point Raceway as a section of the Mason-Dixon GNCC based out of the adjoining Mathews Farm property.
The name High Point originated from a planned sponsorship with John Penton's Hi Point Products. The sponsorship fell through before finalization, even though signs were already made. The additional letters were added and the High Point Raceway name has remained ever since.
