Alien Motor Speedway flying high with USRA, set for March 20 season opener

March 16, 2021 | by Jeff Nun

After a successful inaugural season despite the dark cloud of the pandemic hanging overhead, the staff and management at the Alien Motor Speedway in Roswell, New Mexico, is looking forward to its sophomore season under the USRA banner.

“We are very excited to bring some much needed entertainment and sporting events to the city of Roswell and surrounding areas,” said Alien Motor Speedway General Manager Jeremy Pipes. “The support throughout the town has been great and only gotten better over during the off-season with multiple new sponsors joining the team.

“We are looking forward to another out-of-this-world experience. Mark my words, Roswell, New Mexico, will never be the same.”

Well on their way to being the most popular destination in Roswell since the alleged UFO incident in July 1947, the track owners began construction in early 2018 and first opened gates for racing around the semi-banked 3/8-mile clay oval last year.

After more than 25 years since Roswell had a speedway for Roswell residents, the Alien Motor Speedway offers state-of-the-art construction with all-new grandstands, fencing LED lighting and much more.

Following a car show earlier in the day, the Alien Motor Speedway goes green this Saturday, May 20, at 7:30 p.m. with Medieval USRA Stock Cars racing for $1,000 to win. USRA Modifieds, USRA Limited Mods and Mensink Racing Products USRA Hobby Stocks plus Legends Cars and Junior Cyclones are also featured.
