Racing Series
The NTT INDYCAR SERIES is the premier open-wheel racing series in North America. It offers one of the most diverse and challenging schedules in motorsports with races held on ovals, permanent road courses and temporary street courses.
INDY NXT by Firestone features a new generation of global racing talent, competing vigorously for podiums and the opportunity to join the elite ranks of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES.
The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is a pickup truck racing series owned and operated by the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR), and is the only series in NASCAR to race production pickup truck-based stock cars. The series is one of three national divisions of NASCAR, ranking as the third tier behind the second-tier NASCAR Xfinity Series and the top level NASCAR Cup Series and is also the youngest NASCAR-sanctioned national racing competition to date.
The USF2000 Championship Presented by Continental Tire debuted in 2010 and is a continuation of the highly regarded USF2000 series which ran from 1990 through 2006, launching the careers of many of today’s top drivers. Sanctioned by USAC, the series is the second official step on USF Pro Championships Presented by Continental Tire - a clearly defined path to reach the top echelons of the sport. In addition to providing a vital training ground for rising stars, the series champion will earn a scholarship package to advance to USF Pro 2000, the next step on the ladder system.
The Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin is the signature spec series for Mazda Motorsports. The MX-5 Cup champion earns a $250,000 scholarship at season’s end. MX-5 Cup has been sanctioned by IMSA since 2021. Each of the series’ seven event weekends – run as a companion to either WeatherTech Championship or IndyCar events – features a pair of 45-minute races.
