2024 Ignite Road Racing Challenge

What is the Ignite Road Racing Challenge?

The Ignite Road Racing Challenge introduces the popular spec Ignite program to the national road racing scene. The series travels to three existing road courses in the United States: Daytona International Speedway, Ozarks International Raceway, and Motorsport Park Hastings. The series will serve as a way to experience the speed associated with competing on a purpose-built road course, all while using the same Ignite package they race every weekend.
