SCCA Announces Nationwide Point Structure and Club Racing Super Sweep Award

LAS VEGAS, Nev. February 21, 2009: Sports Car Club of America announced today the foundation for its new Club Racing Super Sweep program, honoring drivers who “sweep” all four criteria in a given season, including a win at one of nine key National events, a Divisional class point championship, a Runoffs class win and a class win in the newly formulated nationwide point structure.

The concept takes the Chicago Region SCCA Triple Crown® one step further, making it the most difficult accomplishment for an SCCA Club Racing driver in a given season.

“SCCA has formally recognized the Chicago Region Triple Crown for the last several years, and, while it continues to be a great program for the Region, we felt a program that was more inclusive was in order, particularly with the move of the Runoffs® to Road America in 2009,” SCCA President & CEO Jeff Dahnert said. “The components have been germinating in the marketing and Club Racing departments for some time now, and we feel that we’ve put them together into a great program. To win the SCCA Super Sweep will be an incredible accomplishment.”
