LaFayette Motorsports Park is a 0.5 mile high speed, reconfigurable asphalt karting circuit consisting of ten turns with the addition of a dirt section for supermoto events.

LaFayette Motorsports park, formally knowns as Cherry Valley Motorsports Park was originally built in 1960 by Charlie Becketts which included just six turns, making it one of the oldest operating karting circuit in the United States. In the early 2000's the track changed management and ownership. The track was re-vamped with additions to the layout including the hairpin and the chicane. 2017 saw another change in ownership and management when it was purchased in the spring by Tony Goddard. In 2018 the track was completely repaved, new barriers were installed, fencing was replaced and more.

After years of operation the track has seen many different types of racing events such as International Kart Federation(IKF), World Karting Association(WKA), Supermoto East Coast(SMEC), Vintage Kart Association(VKA), New York Karting Championship, Sports Car Club of America(SCCA), Rotax Max Trophy Series East and The Spartan Mid-Atlantic Series.
