More modern day racing machines will be featured in two Trans Am Series classes of ground-pounding, muscle cars, then open-wheel action from the sports rising stars will battle in the F4 U.S. Championship Powered by Honda and the FR Americas Championship Powered by Honda with both series staging tripleheader races.
