May 11, 2020 – Taking their program to the next level, FR Americas Powered by Honda team Momentum Motorsports has moved their operation to South Carolina. Acquiring space at Carolina Motorsports Park (CMP), Phil Picard and his multi-dimensional operation will now have their location trackside in Kershaw, South Carolina.
 
“Having a location trackside is something that I have wanted for quite some time,” explained Phil Picard. “I explored many opportunities and options, but CMP was the clear choice when all the facts were considered. The track owners have many improvements planned for the facility, and we are happy to be on the front line of it all. Our new location gives us access to the permanent road course, skid pad as well as a kart track and club that we will utilize to increase our Karts to Cars program.”
 
Momentum Motorsports’ new location will be located just inside the front gate at Carolina Motorsports Park. With a new 4,800 square foot shop, the premier race team will be able to offer a host of onsite services to benefit the racer.
 
Picard added, “A trackside shop opens many more avenues of business for us. We will restart a major push on our Karts to Cars program and be able to offer tests most weeks. The location of CMP provides for year-round operation and a road course, kart track and skid pad can support a wide range of race programs. We have begun to move in and cannot wait to get the season started.”
 
“As the operators of Carolina Motorsports Park, we are delighted Momentum Motorsports has chosen CMP for their new home,” stated Michael Cummings from CMP Operating Company.  “Being able to offer on-site driver development and race car prep services is a key ingredient of our vision for the facility.  Doing this with a company with Momentum Motorsports’ track record of success makes us extremely excited about what the future holds for CMP.”
 
Carolina Motorsports Park was developed by a group of enthusiasts and racers from the Southeast. Land acquisition was completed in July 1998 with construction starting soon thereafter. The site was built on an old airport, known as "Kershaw Airport". The track was designed by famed track designer Alan Wilson and the full 2.27-mile road course opened in July 1999. In 2010 the .7-mile kart facility began operation. 

In November of 2019, operation of the facility was taken over by Motorsports Capital with a focus on providing customers an outstanding experience the entire family can enjoy. Carolina Motorsports Park is the only purpose-built road racing facility in the Carolinas and is  located about an hour south of Charlotte, NC and 45 minutes outside of Columbia, SC.

​Motorsports Capital LLC announced the signing of an agreement to acquire through commonly owned and affiliated entities the assets of Carolina Motorsports Park, Inc. a 290-acre motorsports complex in Kershaw, South Carolina. Motorsports Capital will begin operating the facility on November 1, 2019.
The acquisition will allow Motorsports Capital to expand its offerings beyond capital raising and advisory services to include facility ownership and management.
Carolina Motorsports Park was built in 1999 by a group of investors led by Joe Hooker and Bob Humphreys. The Alan Wilson designed 2.27-mile, 14 turn road course has proven to be a popular venue for professional and amateur racers alike. In addition to the road course, the facility includes a .7-mile, 16 turn kart track and a skid pad.
Motorsports Capital’s founder Michael J. Cummings stated: “Facility ownership is a natural next step in the growth of our company. Carolina Motorsports Park’s ownership has done a great job building a first-class facility in addition to building a great organization and a loyal customer base. We consider ourselves fortunate to have the opportunity to continue the development of Carolina Motorsports Park”.
Joe Hooker, one of Carolina Motorsports Park’s founders stated: “We developed the facility to have a purpose-built road racing facility in the Carolinas and we are very proud of what Carolina Motorsports Park has become. We decided after 20 years, it was time to let another group take over and lead the facility’s development.” Bob Humphreys from Carolina Motorsports Park added: “It is “bittersweet” to sell something that has been such a big part of our lives for 20 years, but we are excited about what the next 20 years holds for Carolina Motorsports Park under Motorsports Capital’s ownership”.
