Sweetwater Events Complex

Sweetwater Events Complex in Rock Springs, Wyoming is a 400-plus-acre event center just off Interstate 80, and for motocross riders the draw is the dedicated outdoor MX and BMX tracks that run organized local racing series and regional practice days through the warmer months. The complex hosts Wyoming State Championship RMX Series rounds, so this is real points-paying racing, not just an open field with a few jumps.

Sitting in southwest Wyoming's high desert, the dirt is the dry, fast, hard-pack you would expect at altitude, and the wide-open complex grounds give the track room to stretch out. Motocross shares the property with Sweetwater Speedway, a dirt oval that runs stock car, modified, and sprint car racing plus demolition derbies, so on a given summer weekend there is dirt flying somewhere on the grounds.

The real ace for traveling racers is the infrastructure. Because the complex is built to absorb the crowds of Wyoming's Big Show (the Sweetwater County Fair) and 800-plus events a year, it runs one of the largest campgrounds in the region: roughly 1,200 full-hookup RV sites with 50-amp service and water, sewer, and power, open year-round, plus modern heated restroom and shower buildings. There are even onsite dog parks and fishing ponds, so the whole crew, dog included, can settle in for a race weekend instead of hunting for a hotel an hour away.

Located right off I-80 in Rock Springs, Sweetwater is an easy interstate stop between Salt Lake City (about three hours west) and Cheyenne and Denver to the east, which is part of why it pulls riders from across Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado for the state championship rounds. For anyone searching for motocross tracks in Wyoming, a Rock Springs MX track, or a race weekend with full RV hookups, the Sweetwater Events Complex is the answer in the southwest corner of the state.
