EAST COAST REGIONAL SERIES ANNOUNCED

EAST COAST REGIONAL SERIES ANNOUNCED
 
USAC’s 2013 “East Coast Regional Series” for the .25 Midgets debuts this weekend at Nashville, Tenn. and the “Ice Breaker” kicks off a six-race series to determine top finishers who will be honored at the year-end USAC “Showcase of Champions” in Indianapolis, Ind.
 
Three venues will host the six events, with Nashville also hosting the May 17-19 “Music City Mayhem.” Metro Atlanta in Braselton, Ga. hosts East Coast Regionals on April 19-20 and October 18-19, while the Salisbury, N.C. facility hosts the June 20-22 “Carolina Clash” and the September 20-21 event.
 
Eligibility for year-end recognition will depend on a driver competing in at least one event at each venue, with the driver’s best four finishes counting toward their year-end “East Coast Regional Series” total. In order for a class to be considered for championship consideration it must include at least three competitors.
 
Race formats for the “Generation Next” events involved will mirror “Generation Next” formats.
 
Stand-alone events will open with a controlled 1-9 pm practice on Friday and continue with an additional 9 am Saturday practice prior to competition.
 
“This is expected to be a heated battle for championships,” says USAC’s Kyle McCain. “We expect this to be one of our signature series in 2013.”
