There is no doubt the 250 or so members paying $50,000-plus to gain entry to the exclusive APEX Motor Club on the outskirts of town enjoy coming to Maricopa to put the pedal to the metal.
The racetrack is driving business in Maricopa in a number of other ways, too.
APEX and its members are directly or indirectly spurring major construction projects, enhancing municipal infrastructure, adding restaurants, providing retail and shopping centers and accelerating access to water on the west side of town leading to a new wave of development west of State Route 347.
At the helm is president and general partner Jason Plotke, who spearheaded
development of the facility in 2018. A lifelong car enthusiast, he had been searching for land around the Valley to build a country club centered around racing. After tentative deals with the Gila River Indian Community and Mesa Gateway fell through, he and a group of about 50 investors acquired 280 acres at 22408 N. Ralston Road, about 6 miles west of SR 347 on the north side of State Route 238.
