INDIANAPOLIS — One of the biggest weeks in racing will see the return of some of the greatest wheelmen on dirt making their second appearance at Circle City Raceway.
Circle City, which opened for its inaugural season last year, brought the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship back to Indianapolis for the first time in 37 years.
The series will slide its way back onto the Indianapolis dirt for two nights of racing May 25-26 during the Week of Indy.
These two shows will carry on the long-standing Week of Indy traditions such as the Hoosier Hundred and the Tony Hulman Classic, races that were and have been a staple of USAC racing for more than 65 years.
With some of the greatest modern stars in the sport at Indy’s newest track, a tradition like no other will continue to prevail with Wednesday night’s winner taking home $5,000 and Thursday night’s victor bagging $10,000.
Last year, Tanner Thorson dominated the field after squeezing his way through a major collision in turn two on lap 11. Thorson then went on to lead, in comfortable fashion, the next 19 laps to take home his fifth and final win of his 2021 season.
A fierce battle is expected around the tight, quarter-mile as the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship makes its second trip to Circle City Raceway.
Also joining the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship will be the Sherley Unlimited Snow Company DIRTcar Modifieds as well as an appearance on Wednesday night by the Midwest Oldtimers Vintage Race Car Club.
Veteran short-track racer Ken Schrader will be making his first appearance at Circle City as part of the modified field.
