Indianapolis, IN (My Sportsbook) - CART management announced that the Champ Car Series had come to an agreement to restore the Grand Prix of Road America at Elkhart Lake, WI. Former CART driver Mario Andretti was instrumental in resurrecting the race to the historic 4.048-mile road course which has hosted racing for the last 49 years. "I must thank Mario Andretti for his tireless efforts toward getting Road America back on the schedule," said CART President and CEO Chris Pook. "It is great to see that he has the same level of passion for the heritage of CART racing that he did when he was behind the wheel." In recognition for Andretti's efforts to bring the two sides together, the race has been renamed the Mario Andretti Grand Prix of Road America. The event is scheduled for Sunday, August 3rd. |
