Terre Haute IN Action Track Preparing For Tony Hulman Classic

​Terre Haute Action Track To Open Up USAC's Week Of Indy Events

Popular Tony Hulman Classic To Feature USAC National Sprint Cars


                The much anticipated and newly named, USAC's "The Week Of
Indy" is coming up next week, leading up to the 100th running of the Indy
500.  It all begins with the annual Tony Hulman Classic at the Terre Haute
Action Track for the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Cars and the Scott's
Custom Colors UMP Modifieds.  The event is scheduled for Wednesday, May 25.


                Last season, damp and frigid weather set in on the
originally scheduled Tony Hulman Classic, forcing a postponement.
Eventually, the race was made up in conjunction with the Jim Hurtubise
event in September.  In that race, Robert Ballou came from the tenth spot
to take the victory.  In Modified action that night, former NASCAR star Ken
Schrader took the trophy.


                This year's Hulman race on the 25th will be followed up, as
usual, with the Hoosier Hundred at the Indiana State Fairgrounds on
Thursday, May 26th.  That event will feature the USAC Silver Crown Champ
Cars and UMP Modifieds.  The final race in "The Week Of Indy", will be an
event that moves to a new date, Friday night.  Formerly held on Saturday,
the USAC Silver Crown cars will be racing at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indy on
Friday, May 27 in addition to the Cooper Tire USF2000 and Pro Mazda cars.


                A three day adult SUPERTICKET is available for a 25%
savings at just $60 to see all three events.  The voucher will be good for
a general admission pass to the Tony Hulman Classic at Terre Haute and the
Carb Night Classic at Lucas Oil as well as a reserved ticket to the Hoosier
Hundred at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.  To purchase the three day
SUPERTICKET, visit https://usacracing.ticketspice.com/the-week-of-indy.


                Pit gates for the Tony Hulman Classic at the Terre Haute
Action Track will open at 3:00, grandstands will open at 5:00, hotlaps
begin at 6:00, and racing will take the green at 7:30.  General admission
will be $25 for adults, $15 for the infield, and children ten and under are
free.
