LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Organizers of a struggling Lincoln motocross park hope that a possible $222,000 grant and increasing daily ridership will put it on track to generate profits.

The Abbott Motocross Park reported a $29,400 deficit last year.

It had gross revenues of $95,000 in 2014, nearly $27,000 more than it had the year before. But its expenses also increased, from $89,500 in 2013 to $124,400 in 2014.

Motocross director Craig Fritz said the track saw increased daily ridership and usage but also had increased maintenance costs. He has applied for a grant from a Lancaster County fund in hopes of making improvements at the track.

The motocross park is a joint venture between private Abbott Sports Complex and several government groups, including the Lancaster County Board.
