The Lena Motorsports Club announced the decision, bringing an end to the facility\u2019s nine-year run under the club\u2019s operation. The club said it was unable to secure the property after the owner decided to sell the land. The announcement marks a significant change for one of the Midwest\u2019s popular grassroots off-road racing venues, which was built with a focus on keeping sportsman racing alive while providing an affordable, family-friendly facility for racers and fans.\r\n\r\n\u201cDirt City was built by racers, for racers,\u201d Lena Motorsports Club said in its statement. The facility was established under a long-term lease agreement that included an option for the club to eventually purchase the property. According to the club, that opportunity was ultimately lost when the property owner made the decision to sell. As a result, Lena Motorsports Club made the difficult decision to withdraw Dirt City from the 2027 Champ Off-Road schedule.\r\n\r\nThe move comes after nearly a decade of racing at the facility, where countless volunteers, racers, families and spectators helped establish Dirt City as a staple of Midwest off-road racing. The club emphasized that Dirt City was never simply about the racing itself. \u201cDirt City has always been about more than just racing,\u201d the club said.\r\n\r\nWhile the 2027 Champ Off-Road schedule will move forward without Dirt City, the story may not be completely over. Lena Motorsports Club said it is currently in discussions with the new property owner regarding the future of the facility and what could potentially happen with the property moving forward. Those discussions have left the door open for at least one Dirt City tradition to return. The club remains hopeful that Sportsman Mayhem could be held at the facility in 2027, although no definitive plans have been announced.","excerpt":"<p>Dirt City Motorplex in Lena, Wisconsin will not be part of the 2027 Champ Off-Road schedule as the future of &hellip;<\/p>","date":"November 2, 2026 16:46","categories":[{"id":25047612,"title":"News","slug":"news"},{"id":25047613,"title":"Short Course","slug":"shortcourse"}],"tags":[{"id":25048178,"title":"champ off road","slug":"champ-off-road"},{"id":25047890,"title":"dirt city","slug":"dirt-city"},{"id":25047888,"title":"lena","slug":"lena"},{"id":25047736,"title":"off-road racing","slug":"off-road-racing"},{"id":25047742,"title":"shortcourse","slug":"shortcourse"},{"id":25050012,"title":"Sportsman Mayhem","slug":"sportsman-mayhem"},{"id":25047889,"title":"wisconsin","slug":"wisconsin"}]},{"id":16438,"permalink":"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/2026\/10\/05\/henderson-and-beat-hold-strong-as-glen-helen-crowns-2026-champions\/","title":"Henderson and Beat Hold Strong as Glen Helen Crowns 2026 Champions","content":"The 2026 AMSOIL Championship Off-Road season came down to one final night at Glen Helen Raceway, and the championship battles delivered exactly the kind of chaos expected from a season finale.

His two victories provided the exclamation point to one of the biggest weekends of the AMSOIL Championship Off-Road season, as more than 60,000 fans gathered at Crandon for the Polaris World Championships.
