Established: 1983
You can consider Spring Creek the greatest-hits track of Lucas Oil Pro Motocross. It’s almost as if it took the best elements of each round and blended them into one magical place. The track features hills, sand, hard-pack, high-speed stuff, tighter sections, and more. It’s the all-you-can-eat buffet of motocross. You’re bound to find something you like out here, and that’s why riders list it as one of their favorites.
Fans love it too. Rain or shine, they love the sport and will cheer from beginning to end. Expect a few fans to divert themselves to the actual Spring Creek itself, though, for a refreshing summer dunk right next to the track. But they’ll get fired up again—especially for local heroes Alex and Jeremy Martin, who literally grew up at the track. (Their parents own the place!)
A trip to Spring Creek offers up a slice of everything motocross, and the Millville trip packs some classic Americana. A long drive through the river-lined far country on a beautiful summer day reminds you why road trips exist. At the end of the drive wait the perfect motocross track and a great weekend at the races. Who doesn’t like rocking to a greatest-hits album?

Motocross Racing is a family activity, and one of the most exciting features is the opportunity to camp out and have fun with your family and friends. However, if you are staying overnight in an RV or vehicle, or using a generator, you need to be aware of the dangers of Carbon Monoxide (CO) Poisoning. CO is a poisonous, colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that can be released when burning gasoline, kerosene, oil, propane or wood.
Mind your vehicle and generator exhaust while in close proximity to your family and neighbors. Do not place your generator directly under a slide-out or under your vehicle, where the fumes can seep into the camper. Make sure all exhaust fumes are properly and fully vented, so that they do not become trapped or seep into your sleeping quarters. When sleeping in a van, car or truck, make sure the exhaust is unobstructed if you run the engine for heat. Even when sleeping outdoors under the stars, make sure you are not too close to an exhaust. Devastating consequences can result without proper ventilation.
What to do if you suspect someone has been poisoned
When you suspect CO poisoning, promptly taking the following actions can save lives:
- Move the victim immediately to fresh air in an open area.
- Call 911 and notify track officials immediately.
- Administer CPR if the victim has stopped breathing. (Be careful not to expose yourself to fatal levels of CO poisoning when administering CPR).
Know the dangers of Carbon Monoxide poisoning. For more information, please visit the United States Environmental Protection Agency page on Carbon Monoxide.
