HISTORY
The USMA was formed in 2015 by a coalition of industry businesses including Lucas Oil, Safety Kleen, Optima Batteries and others, who recognized the need for greater organization, data, and state/local level advocacy for racing.
PURPOSE OF THE USMA
​
The U.S. Motorsports Association is the only grassroots racing advocate in America solely focused on the protection & promotion of all types of racing at all levels. We work every day, all day, with one mission as America's Grassroots Racing Advocate.
​
WE GET IT DONE. When the Pandemic hit, the USMA took immediate action and presented the racing industry with the first COVID-19 Toolkit. Our team brought together and mobilized racing industry leaders within weeks of COVID Shutdowns. While it remained a rough road that no one had ever traveled, the USMA remained persistent and ensured our voice was heard with local, state, and federal government.
​
With all issues, we take pride in quick action that results in real solutions. "There is no question in my mind that our favorable outcome was a direct result of USMA's involvement. They were invaluable!" — Bill Bader, Jr. President Summit Motorsports Park
