The Glen companion races to IndyCars announced
The event, scheduled for Labor Day weekend on Aug. 31-Sept. 3, will feature the season finales for the Indy Lights presented by Cooper Tires, the Pro Mazda Championship presented by Cooper Tires and the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship powered by Mazda.
In addition, the Battery Tender Global MX-5 Cup presented by Goodrich Tires, a spec series featuring the Mazda MX-5, or fourth generation Miata, will also contest rounds nine and 10 of its 12-round schedule during the IndyCar weekend.
“The IndyCar Grand Prix at The Glen race weekend is going to benefit greatly in terms of on-track excitement from the addition of these wonderful series," said Watkins Glen Int’l President Michael Printup. “IndyCar has a tremendous ladder system that is proven in developing young drivers into stars, and we couldn’t be happier to welcome them to WGI this season."
In 2016, Zach Veach earned his second Indy Lights win of the season on Saturday of the IndyCar Grand Prix at The Glen weekend.
