Everything You Wanted to Know About NASA Championships
Launched in 2006, the NASA Championships is one of the marquee events of the National Auto Sport Association. The Championship event provides NASA racers around the country the definitive platform for showcasing their driving talent, their attention to detail and their devotion to the sport. Only when all three of those elements come together can they hope to have a shot at being crowned a NASA National Champion.
To become a NASA Champion, everything must come together to conquer the very best amateur racing drivers in the country. Error-free driving is a must. Exceptional preparation is key; a bit of good luck certainly helps.
To give competitors across the country the opportunity to compete at the highest level of amateur motorsports, the NASA Championships moves each year to a different track. From “bucket list” tracks such as Circuit of The Americas to the legendary venues of American road racing such as Virginia International Raceway, Road Atlanta, Sebring, Sonoma and Watkins Glen, the NASA Championships is the ultimate stage.
The 19th annual NASA Championships will take place Sept. 4-7 at Ozarks International Raceway in Gravois Mills, Missouri.
The NASA Championships moves each year to give racers across the country opportunities to compete on a national level at some of the finest road-racing venues in the nation.
