INDIANAPOLIS IND.- December 8, 2016-The USAC Silver Crown Series will race at Phoenix Int’l Raceway next year for the first time since 2009.
The United States Auto Club confirmed the news Wednesday evening with a video press release on their social media platforms. The event is scheduled for April 29 at the one-mile oval located in Avondale, Ariz., and will serve as a preliminary event to the Verizon IndyCar Series race scheduled for the same day.
