• Unadilla was a part of the inaugural Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship in 1972 and even predates the series with more than 45 years of history dating back to 1969.

• The “Euro-style” layout of Unadilla has ultimately resulted in a total of 10 different international winners at the track (including the 450 Class, 250 Class, and 500cc), which is the most of any track in Pro Motocross history.
