The highest-profile race of the season will be held Sept. 9-11 at historic Laguna Seca Raceway where the drivers will share the track with the NTT IndyCar series.
The season finale for the East Region will be held the following weekend at the 2.25-mile Thunderbolt Raceway at New Jersey Motorsport Park. The final race of the season remains unchanged from the 2021 calendar at Thunderhill Raceway. The race is scheduled for Nov. 12-13.
