Lincoln Trail Motosports

Lincoln Trail Motosports in Casey, Illinois is one of the absolute premier motocross destinations in the Midwest, a 235-acre motorsports complex built around four distinct tracks including the legendary "Bomber" Pro track designed by nationally renowned track builders Mark Barnett (a multi-time AMA champion) and Glenn Bates. The combination of a Barnett-designed Pro layout, a 235-acre footprint, and a full amenity stack puts Lincoln Trail in the same conversation as the top destination amateur facilities in the country.

The Bomber is the marquee feature. A Pro-spec layout that hosts Amateur Pro Nationals and major regional events, used to test serious racers from across the Midwest and beyond, the Bomber is the kind of track that develops a national reputation through the riders who race it. Barnett's championship-level pedigree as a track designer translates into a layout that rewards complete-skill riding rather than memorized lines, and the Pro-spec preparation makes the surface a real test even for factory-class amateur racers.

Beyond the Bomber, the property runs a Classic MX track for traditional-style racing, a dedicated daily practice track, and a pee-wee track for the youngest riders. Miles of wooded trails also wind through the property for dirt bikes and ATVs, and the tamer practice areas give beginners, vintage riders, and kids safe ground to build confidence. The four-track structure means a family with multiple riders at different skill levels can ride the same property at the same time, and the Pro-spec maintenance approach is extended across all the surfaces.

The infrastructure is genuinely impressive for a regional facility. An on-site pro shop is stocked with parts, gear, and apparel, with staff who can help with a quick fix or a setup pointer. Heated bathrooms with hot showers handle multi-day stays in cold weather, an on-site bike wash lets racers maintain equipment between sessions, and night lighting extends practice into the evening even on shorter winter days. The facility is wheelchair-accessible, with accessible entrances, parking, and restrooms, and camping at the track keeps families on the property through full weekends.

The schedule pulls riders from a four-state radius. Major qualifier weekends and series rounds draw factory amateur teams, full-time touring families, and serious regional racers. Lincoln Trail is a regular host for the Thor Showdown Series and AMA Loretta Lynn's Area Qualifiers, and a natural stop for riders heading to or from Ponca City. The mix of Pro-track quality, infrastructure, and central Midwest location makes it the natural anchor for the Illinois amateur calendar.

The location is in east-central Illinois, about 2.5 hours south of Chicago, 1.5 hours west of Indianapolis, and 2 hours east of St. Louis. That position puts Lincoln Trail within weekend range of the entire Midwest motocross market, from Wisconsin and Iowa down through Missouri and Kentucky.

For anyone searching for motocross tracks in Illinois, MX tracks in the central Midwest, or a Mark Barnett-designed Pro-spec amateur destination facility, Lincoln Trail Motosports is the answer with the deepest track-design pedigree in the region.
