Garett Potter Joins NOLA Motorsports Park

Effective immediately, NOLA Motorsports Park is pleased to announce that the distinguished kart track manager and tuner Garett Potter has joined the team as Director of Karting Operations. Garett's responsibilities will include the track's club series, corporate entertainment, and the NOLA national racing team.

NMSP is a state of the art racing facility now under construction just 20 minutes southwest of New Orleans, home of the famous Mardi Gras (and of course the newly crowned Super Bowl champions, the New Orleans Saints!). The track sits on over 450 acres and will feature the two largest tracks of their type in North America: two road courses of 2.4 miles each which can be combined into a 4.8 mile course, and a kart track of 1.2 miles. Karters will enjoy multiple track configurations, a club house, team garage condos, and a world class retail center.

"I am extremely excited to join the NOLA group" said Garett. "I am grateful for the confidence and opportunity given to me by owner Laney Chouest and the rest of the NOLA team. I can't wait to get started establishing a kart series, corporate entertainment programs, and the national race team. With the track slated to open in November we have a lot of work ahead of us, but with the talent that NOLA has in place I know we can pull it off.

I would also like to thank Mitch Wright and the crew at Miller Motorsports Park for the fantastic support I've had there over the last few years - I learned a lot and wish them well. It won't be easy leaving my family and friends in my home state of Utah either."

Laney Chouest adds: "Garett is a world class player in karting, so he fits perfectly with our mandate to be a world class racing facility. He'll help make this track a new outlet for fun here in New Orleans - a place that has at least as much fun as anywhere else! We're only bound by the laws of physics. And the insurance rules, but they're a little more flexible."

To reach our goal of becoming the most innovative racing facility in the nation, we are seeking input directly from you, the motorsports enthusiast. If you have any questions, input or ideas about these programs, or would just like to learn about NMSP visit our forums.
