TOOELE, Utah, Feb. 8, 2016 – Ford Performance Racing School has entered into a four-year agreement with Tooele County in Utah to remain at the racetrack formerly known as Miller Motorsports Park.

The race school will work with the new track managers, Utah Motorsports Campus, for the term of the track’s management agreement with Tooele County, as well as with new track ownership once the sale of the racetrack is finally complete.

Founded in 2006, Ford Performance Racing School has become one of America’s top training programs for those wanting to sharpen their skills while becoming better and safer drivers. The school employs a fleet of modified Mustang GT, Mustang Boss 302 FRS, Focus ST and Fiesta ST performance cars, as well as a team of instructors comprised of championship-winning drivers.

Ford has had a successful relationship with Ford Performance Racing School – one that continues to be important to the company. The school works to demonstrate the performance capabilities of Ford cars and to improve the driving skills of owners in a safe environment. Performance driving instruction is offered, along with race licensing programs for club racers. As the official school of Ford Performance, the facility produces owner experience programs for buyers of select model Ford cars and trucks.

“Ford relies on the school to produce driver experience programs for owners of Ford vehicles – offering these performance programs at no additional cost,” said Henry Ford III, Ford Performance marketing manager. “Here, drivers learn the capabilities of their cars – and themselves – with instruction and extensive course time with professional drivers.”

There are exciting new programs in the works for Utah Motorsports Campus. “This racetrack is an amazing facility that our customers have always enjoyed,” said Dan McKeever, school president. “We want to thank Larry H. Miller Group for its help with the transition, as well as Ford Performance for its ongoing commitment and BFGoodrich/Michelin for its continued support. We’re happy to continue to offer new experiences at Utah Motorsports Campus.”

Tooele County commissioner Shawn Milne said that throughout the transition from Miller Motorsports Park to Utah Motorsports Campus, the county has been committed to Ford Performance Racing School continuing to call Tooele County its home. “We’re pleased we are able to retain the industry-leading talent behind the school, along with our association with Ford, and we’re grateful Ford Performance Racing School is committed to the preservation of jobs in our local work force,” said Milne.

“Since our first involvement at Miller Motorsports Park in 2007, BFGoodrich/Michelin has benefited by inviting groups from across the country to experience our ultra-high-performance and light truck tires at one of the top racing schools in the country,” said Jeff Cummings, driving experience manager, BFGoodrich/Michelin. “New ownership doesn’t change the fact that the facility and, in particular, the excellent staff we have worked with the last eight years is still in place. We look forward to continuing our relationship as official tire of Ford Performance Racing School for many years to come.”

Look for Ford Performance Racing School to announce specific plans and schedules in the near future.
