  • Roger Edmundson, Grand American President, (in 2003 about the facility) said, "Even before construction is complete, it is clear that this track is a world-class facility. Grand American has been given a very unique and special opportunity to be the first event there. I know that all of our competitors and fans are in for a truly great experience when they get here."
  • Five-time Rolex 24 At Daytona winner Hurley Haywood said, "Barber Motorsports Park combines natural beauty and technical complexity to create a unique motorsports experience. It is without a doubt one of the finest racing facilities in the world, user friendly to both competitors and spectators."
  • The Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum began life in 1988 as a private collection of George W. Barber, owner of Barber Dairies. Mr. Barber, always an automobile enthusiast, raced, modified and maintained Porsches in the 1970's (63 first place wins). He started collecting and restoring classic sports cars in 1989.
