PPIR reopened in 2008 with a focus on participant motorsports events. A wide variety of amateur racing groups use PPIR for racing, testing and training.

Due to NASCAR's ban on testing at tracks with NASCAR races, many NASCAR teams run test sessions at PPIR. Future plans call for the construction of additional road courses, trackside lots and motorsports business related shops, restaurant and hotel facilities. On December 6, 2012. USAC announced that PPIR will be on the 2013 USAC Traxxas Silver Crown Series schedule.
