USAC to Sanction Three Series on the Road to Indy

By Engine Builder

Andersen Promotions has announced a new agreement with the United States Auto Club (USAC Racing) to become the sanctioning body for the three racing series owned and operated by the organization—the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship and Indy Pro 2000 Championship Presented by Cooper Tires as well as the new USF Juniors Presented by Cooper Tires.

Both USF2000 and Indy Pro 2000 are key steps on the Road to Indy Presented by Cooper Tires, a scholarship-supported driver development platform to the NTT IndyCar Series and Indianapolis 500. In addition, the recently announced USF Juniors is a pre-step to the ladder system offering its champion a scholarship package to enter USF2000.

While the USAC portfolio is best known in the circle track arena with Silver Crown, Sprint, Midget and .25 Midget sanctioning, it now governs a diverse motorsports platform, including the SRO World Challenge, Porsche Sprint Challenge and the SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks.

“Thirty years ago, when I first announced the USF2000 series launch in 1991, USAC stepped up and was my first sanctioning body,” said Dan Andersen, owner, and CEO of Andersen Promotions. “We’ve come full circle, and I am very pleased to be back with them and look forward to a long-term relationship.”
