RACE OF CHAMPIONS ROC 250 WEEKEND TO BE HELD AT LAKE ERIE SPEEDWAY FOR THE FIRST TIME SEPT . 28-30
The Erie Sports Commission has announced that Presque Isle Downs and Casino will serve as the title sponsor for the 67th Annual Race of Champions when it makes its debut at Lake Erie Speedway Sept . 28 through Sept . 30 . The three-day event is the final event of the Race of Champions ’
2017 asphalt racing calendar . The event is the second-longest consecutive-running auto racing event in North America , second only to the Indianapolis 500 .
This marks the return of the event to Pennsylvania after a 25-year absence . That 1991 event was held on the ¾-mile Pocono Raceway , and it had previously been run at the legendary Langhorne Speedway , where the very first Race of Champions event was held in 1951 . Since then , the race has been hosted 35 times in Pennsylvania between Langhorne and Pocono . Event organizers anticipate 100 top racing teams from New York , New Jersey and Pennsylvania to take part in the event .
“ The Race of Champions Weekend is going to be an exciting addition to Erie ’ s sports calendar , and we couldn ’ t be happier to play a part in its success ,” said Jeff Favre , Vice President and General Manager of Presque Isle Downs and Casino .
