North East, Pa. – (September 16, 2024) – The Race of Champions “Family of Series” plays a huge role in the biggest weekend of racing in the region at Lake Erie Speedway in North East, Pa., as part of Race of Champions Weekend leading up to the running of the VP Racing Fuels Race of Champions 250.
Sept. 5, 2024, Salt Lake City — One of the newest and most challenging courses in the United States, Ozarks International Raceway will host the NASA Championships Sept. 4-7, 2025.
The track features 19 turns and 150 feet of elevation change, and 1,200 feet of elevation change during a single lap. Track owner and president JR Pesek and his crew took nearly three years to build the facility, consulting with everyone from the Army Corps of Engineers to global engineering, manufacturing and motorsports powerhouse Multimatic. Pesek’s in-house team moved about 3 million cubic yards of dirt, but left as many trees in place to create a park-like setting. The result is a track with corners that might seem familiar, but overall is like nothing else in the world. (more…)

What are your thoughts on returning to the LA Coliseum for the second time?
“I’m looking forward to going back. NASCAR has done a great job putting this event together and I know there has been a lot of effort put in when you look at the celebrities coming out and the musical acts. It’s a fun atmosphere and an exciting way to start the season. From a racing perspective, we definitely want to have a better showing than we did last year, and I think we will. We improved so much from the start of the season to the end and everyone has worked really hard this offseason, so it’s always fun to see where we stack up.”
