USAC Sprint Cars at IMS

An invitational field of 40 drivers will compete in a 35-lap feature for a $10,000 winner’s purse.

The 38th annual USAC NOS Energy Drink Indiana Sprint Week Presented by Honest Abe Roofing will open with a historic event Thursday night, July 24 at The Dirt Track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

An invitational field of 40 drivers will compete in a 35-lap feature for a $10,000 winner’s purse. This race on the 1/5th-mile clay oval inside Turn 3 of IMS will pay appearance points toward the season-long USAC National Sprint Car standings but not offer points toward the 2025 Indiana Sprint Week standings.

USAC Indiana Sprint Week, a cornerstone of sprint car racing in the Hoosier State since 1988, has captivated fans for decades with its thrilling action and rich legacy. The 2025 Indiana Sprint Week schedule consists of eight events at eight different racetracks across a 10-night span between July 24-Aug. 2.

C.J. Leary captured the only previous visit by the USAC National Sprint Cars to The Dirt Track at IMS in September 2024, a 20-lap, non-points exhibition race during the BC39 Presented by Avanti Windows & Doors. Leary raced from seventh to first, making the winning pass with nine laps remaining.

Public gates open at 5 p.m. ET Thursday. Engine heat will start at 6 p.m., with hot laps and group qualifying at 6:30 p.m. That will be followed by heat races, a C-Main, a feature redraw and the semi-feature, with the night concluding with the 35-lap feature main event.

To buy tickets or for more information, visit IMS.com. Spectators must enter IMS via Gate 10 off 30th Street to access The Dirt Track. No entrance will be allowed through Gate 2.
