The fifteen-round battle for the 2011 season championship begins March 12th at Firebird International Raceway in Chandler, Arizona just outside of Phoenix and returns to that location in December for the season finale. As this year Firebird will play host to the Lucas Oil Challenge Cup on December 11th.
