Originating as a Grand National Cross Country venue beginning in 1995, the motocross course opened in 2014 due in part to the large success of the Ironman GNCC.

During a trip to the Blackwater 100 GNCC event in the early 1990s, the Shaver Family came in contact with race promoter, Dave Coombs.

After some discussion with Big Dave, they felt their family farm may be suitable for a GNCC event.

The event was named the "Ironman" in honor of two-time GNCC champion, Bob Sloan, who hailed from Indiana and passed away in 1994.

Over the years the Ironman GNCC would grow with large numbers of spectators and racers converging on the facility.
