TOPEKA, Kan. (March 1, 2018) -- Fans of having fun with cars have waited all winter for this day. And now, it is here: Registration has opened for all 2018 dates. That’s more than 130 events spread across 32 venues throughout the United States.
In 2018, the 51’s pioneering program will make first-ever visits to Auto Club Speedway, Dominion Raceway, La Junta Raceway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway. There’s even a March 15 event at Willow Springs Raceway in Southern California on the “Big Willow” circuit. Registration for all events can be made at , and the can also be viewed at the Track Night website.
Track Night in America is a non-competitive, no-stress, entertaining, easy and inexpensive way for nearly anyone who loves cars or motorsports to get on a real racecourse in their own vehicle during weeknights. All that is required is that participants be at least 18 years old with a valid driver’s license and have access to an approved helmet and street car in good working condition.
The price to participate is usually no more than $150 per event. Some special events and certain tracks may be a bit more. No previous on-track experience or 51 membership is required to join in the fun. Drivers participate in the Advanced, Intermediate or KONI Novice Experience group so on-track activities remain fun for all, and everyone gets three 20-minute sessions on course -- as well as feedback from 51 driver coaches on site. Admission is free for people who just want to stop by and watch the fun, and leisurely circuit parade laps are provided for all Track Night in America guests.
Tire Rack is again the presenting sponsor for this year’s Track Night in America. A handful of featured partners will also be offering special discount codes, swag and special opportunities during certain months. Those brands include Hagerty (April), KONI (May), Falken Tire (June) and Hawk Performance (July). Marketing partners in 2018 also include Mazda and Grassroots Motorsports Magazine.
