For those who might be new to the motocross scene or unfamiliar with recent changes, The MotoPlayground Race and the championship track have a rich history that spans decades.
The venue was the longtime home of the National Motocross Association Ponca City Grand Nationals, which was rebranded in 2025 as The MotoPlayground Race.
The list of participants headed to Oklahoma includes factory amateur teams, full-time touring families and serious local racers looking to build their credentials – and success at Ponca City carries a lot of weight.
Here’s a look at the schedule for this week at The MotoPlayground Race:
