About Spring Mountain

Begin with a diamond in the rough, extend it, shape it, and polish it into one of the finest road courses in the world. Owners John Morris and Brad Rambo wanted a place where family, friends, and colleagues would enjoy time spent both on and off the track. Morris and Rambo purchased the facility in 2004, with a 2.2-mile track and two storage tents situated on 193 acres. Spring Mountain Motor Resort and Country Club is now the longest racetrack in North America and second-longest in the world at over 9-miles across its 933 acres. It is much more than a racetrack, it is the ultimate driver’s paradise, where anyone can enjoy the wonder of motorsports just outside the neon of Las Vegas. Whether guests visit the facility as members or as driving students associated with our OEM sponsored programs, we strive for their customer experience to be second to none.

As Spring Mountain continues to expand, finding employees who believe in our vision is imperative. It is through a dedicated team effort that we have achieved success and continue to grow. It is important that our employees share a passion for excellence and a commitment to our customers. Together, we strive to innovate, excel, and provide unparalleled experiences for our guests, ensuring that Spring Mountain remains at the forefront of the motorsports community.
