Officials with Grand Texas—the future 610-acre sports and entertainment district in New Caney—have released details on a new 43-acre racing component at the park, which will be constructed on the property near the RV park and the Sportsplex.

Palmetto Racing in The Woodlands is working with Miller Performance USA in Utah to develop a multipurpose attraction called Motorsportz at Grand Texas.

"This type of family-oriented racing will be very well received in Houston," Palmetto Racing owner Tim Crawford said. "We could not be more pleased to bring this to the deserving people of this great city."

The new attraction is expected to include nearly two miles of track for a combination of traditional karts, super karts that can reach speeds of up to 90 miles per hour and test-track operations for sports cars. The venue is also expected to feature high-performance driving schools and other motorsports activities.

Up to four racetracks are planned for Motorsportz at Grand Texas, which will offer a variety of activities for public and private use.

"Motorsportz at Grand Texas, when combined with other activities such as the youth sports destination fields, creates synergistic family activities that are incomparable," said Monty Galland, CEO of the Grand Texas Sports and Entertainment District.

Motorsportz at Grand Texas is slated to open in mid-2015, Crawford said.
