Road America, the beloved race track with a seven-decade legacy, has just unveiled its heart-pumping roster for the 2025 season. Sit tight folks, because this year marks the track's 70th anniversary, and my, do they have a lineup that'll rev any motorhead's engines. We're talking a parade of vintage beauties, cutting-edge superbikes, and the kind of open-wheel action that'll glue you to your seat faster than a two-minute lap, according to a post from Road America.
The festivities kick off mid-May with the Spring Vintage Weekend with SVRA, scheduled from May 16 to May 18. It's a trip down memory lane with all the classic cars your gearhead heart desires. As FOX6 News puts it, spectators can expect a "nostalgic celebration" that pays respect to the motoring history that has captured hearts for years. Quickly following, from May 30 to June 1, is the MotoAmerica Superbikes and Vintage MotoFest, promising enough edge-of-your-seat racing to satiate your need for speed.
Next, the WeatherTech Chicago Region SCCA June Sprints take the stage from June 6 to June 8, a perennial hit that spotlights the heart and soul of grassroots racing. And then, the crown jewel of open-wheel racing, the INDYCAR XPEL Grand Prix presented by AMR, makes its high-octane appearance from June 19 to June 22, as detailed by TMJ4. If you've got a thing for muscle cars and cheddar, the Cheese Capital Cup featuring the Trans Am Speed Tour from June 27 to June 29 is where you’ll want to be, and yes, it's as American as it sounds.
Cruising into July, expect the WeatherTech Vintage Weekend with Brian Redman from July 17 to July 20—a testament to the storied days of racing yesteryear. And let's not forget the GRIDLIFE Summer Apex Music & Motorsports Festival later in July, mashing up motors and music in a way that could only happen in America’s Dairyland. According to Road America's announcement, the SportsCar Weekend with IMSA follows from July 31 to August 3, with the GT World Challenge America hot on its heels in mid-August.
The culmination of a season packed with high-flying action, according to the agenda, is the SCCA National Championship Runoffs from October 3 to October 5—where champions are made and dreams either take flight or get left in the dust. Trust me, there’s no better way to wave the checkered flag on an adrenaline-filled season at Road America. And for those looking to snag all of this action without breaking the bank, Road America's season pass is available until December 31, for just $575. After which, it'll set you back $660. A small price to pay, if you ask me, for over 50 days of rubber-burning, engine-roaring entertainment at what's affectionately known as America’s National Park of Speed.
