P32
Indianapolis Motor Speedway To
Host Flat Track Racing
M
otoAmerica will
host the first "Flat
Track at The Brickyard"
event when the series
heads to Indianapolis
Motor Speedway on
August 21-23.
This will be the first
time flat track racing
has been held at the
hallowed grounds,
which has hosted ev-
erything from MotoGP
to Formula One, NAS-
CAR and just about
every form of racing in
between.
The Steve Nace
Racing Promotions
(SNRP) flat track will
feature Amateur and
Pro-Am racing on the Brickyard's
quarter-mile flat track that's
located inside turn three at the
Speedway on Friday, August 21.
The following day, the AMA
All-Stars will take over the oval
with a full slate of racing, includ-
ing a round of the Hooligan
National Championship and a
special invitational Bultaco Astro
class. The Bultaco Astro class
features many previous national
number plate holders and former
flat track champions all riding the
Bultacos. Additionally, proceeds
from the Bultaco Invitational will
go to fund the Class of '79, a
charity for injured racers.
"As most of our fans know,
I started my career racing flat
track and it's always been near
and dear to my heart," said
MotoAmerica President Wayne
Rainey. "Everyone at MotoAmer-
ica is pumped that we are going
to be working with Steve Nace
and his group to bring flat track
racing to the Brickyard for the
first time in conjunction with our
five MotoAmerica classes. We
will have a lot going on during
our MotoAmerica Superbikes
at the Brickyard event as we
continue to build this into a real
motorcycle festival. Our fans are
going to love it."
"We're thrilled to bring our
series to Indianapolis Motor
Speedway as part of the Mo-
toAmerica weekend," said Steve
Nace of SNRP. "It will give our
racers and teams a great op-
portunity to race in front of a
different crowd. Who doesn't get
excited about racing at the Brick-
yard? We're all looking forward
to August 21-23 and putting on a
show for MotoAmerica and our
flat track fans." CN
The Bultaco Astro class will be a
treat to witness at Indy.
