Motorsports complex planning years in the making
CASA GRANDE — Pat Johnson is experienced in developing projects, though none probably compares to the 2,360-acre motorsports park he plans to create south of Casa Grande.
Located a few miles outside the city limits, the complex is intended to invite automotive enthusiasts to use its facilities for both recreational and research-based sports racing. Plans for the park include two 2.8-mile road courses, an RV resort, an event plaza and a private airport.
It’s an interesting mixed-use model for the racing industry, according to Johnson, who has been crafting the project with business partner Dan Erickson since 2010.
