NCM Motorsports Park Karting

The NCM Kartplex is the go kart track at NCM Motorsports Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The track runs a fleet of rental karts with barriers through the corners, and every session is an 8 minute race for the best lap time.

There are three ways onto the track. Adult karts and junior karts run their own sessions, and the two seat kart puts an adult at the wheel with a young passenger alongside. Groups can book private sessions in Grand Prix or endurance race formats, and kids birthday parties run as private races with a podium finish.

The Kartplex is one part of a 419 acre park built around a 3.2 mile, 23 turn road course that was designed with input from Corvette Racing. The rest of the park runs Corvette and Camaro touring laps, Corvette Z06 and E-Ray drives, a driving academy and track days in your own car, and the Kartplex has its own retail shop.
