This weekend is Round 7 of the eight-race 2009 Miller Park Racing Association (MPRA) series. The race will be held on outer track. The MPRA is a regional racing series created and sponsored by Miller Motorsports Park to build local and regional car racing. Miller Motorsports Park has organized, sanctioned and subsidized the cost of racing. Drivers will be competing for trophies and points toward the series championship.
The fourth annual visit to Miller Motorsports Park by the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16 brings a major change. The race distance has been shortened from 1000 kilometers to a two-hour-45 minute sprint race, which will bring an entirely new set of strategies into play. Teams will have to race hard from beginning to end, and work in “sprint” mode rather than “endurance” mode. As exciting as the longer races were, this year’s event should be a nail-biter from start to finish!
The thundering stock cars of the NASCAR Camping World Series (formerly Grand National West Series) return to Miller Motorsports Park for a third year to tackle the demanding 3.08-mile Perimeter Course. These heavy cars are difficult to manhandle around a road course, and last year’s event was thrilling from start to finish. Don’t miss your chance to get the best of both worlds — stock cars and road racing!
