2021 National Championship Runoffs at Indianapolis Motor Speedway
One week from today, the green flag will fly opening the first day of Qualifying for the 2021 Runoffs. Over 900 competitors from across the country are actively finishing their final preparations, loading tow vehicles, and preparing to arrive at the famed Brickyard this weekend.
This year’s Runoffs is a return to Indy after the first appearance there ever in 2017. The track is opening for test days over the weekend, continuing with activities and action-packed racing through the closing ceremonies on October 3. In traditional fashion, three days of Qualifying for each of the 26 classes will take place Tuesday-Thursday, with the main event, one-race shoot-outs to determine this year’s Champion starting Friday morning with the T4 class and finishing Sunday afternoon with FX.
Coming from the New England Region will be 36 drivers hoping to leave their mark on this famed track. Of these, three drivers – Nick Leverone, David Oliveira, and Marshall Stocker – will be double dipping, so 39 chances for podiums from our region.
