America's National Park of Speed is ready for its longest-running event.
ELKHART LAKE, Wis., – June 12, 2024 – Road America, the renowned motorsports venue, is thrilled to announce the return of the highly anticipated WeatherTech® SCCA Chicago Region June Sprints® June 21-23. This historic event holds a significant place on the Road America calendar and serves as the first step towards achieving the prestigious SCCA Triple Crown of Racing.
As the host of the June Sprints, Road America proudly upholds its rich tradition and deep connection with the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA).

From June 21 to 23, spectators will experience three days of non-stop action featuring exhilarating qualifying rounds and high-stakes racing. The June Sprints marks the start of an intense journey for competitors vying for the SCCA Triple Crown of Racing, where victory in three consecutive events – beginning with the June Sprints, followed by the regional championships, and culminating in the SCCA National Championship Runoffs® – which returns to Road America October 4-6 for the 61st running and has quickly evolved into what is widely known as the pinnacle of U.S. amateur road racing.
