The June Sprints are amateur sports car races held yearly on the third or fourth weekend of June at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.[1]
It is one of the longest-running standalone road races in the United States.[2]
History
[edit]The event was first held in 1956 as a round of the SCCA National Sports Car Championship, as a shorter-format alternative to the Road America 500.
In 1982, the race was won by professional golfer Danny Edwards.[citation needed]
The June Sprints are hosted by the Chicago Region of the Sports Car Club of America. Unlike the SCCA National Championship Runoffs (held at Road America between 2009 and 2013, as well as in 2020 and 2024), the June Sprints are open to any nationally licensed driver in good standing with the SCCA.[citation needed]
