Two races and expanded fan access
Organizers will again use a two‑race weekend format, giving eligible SCCA classes two opportunities to compete. Fans can watch on‑track battles while also exploring the paddock, where teams prepare cars throughout the weekend, according to the announcement.
Spectators will have access to multiple areas around the facility, which is known for its park‑like setting and walk‑up viewing locations. The event is billed as welcoming both longtime racing fans and newcomers.
June Jams adds drifting and car culture
The June Sprints weekend also includes June Jams, a drifting showcase that runs alongside the road racing schedule. Saturday drifting is planned for the North Paddock drift area, with Sunday sessions expanding to both the North Paddock and the Briggs & Stratton Motorplex.
June Jams features drifting demonstrations, car culture elements and music, offering additional on‑site entertainment beyond the main race schedule, according to the announcement.
