Stars move August national race to Trane HILLIARD, OH - The Champ Car Stars of Tomorrow karting series announced today that the national event on August 1-3, 2003 slated for the Briggs & Stratton Motorplex at Road America has been moved to Trane Motor Speedway (formerly Norway Motorsports Complex) in Sheridan, Illinois. The date of the event will remain the same. "The recent developments between CART and Road America forced us to examine the value of returning to that fine facility only weeks after our June event with the SCCA," said Stars Operations Director Paul Zalud. "We scheduled two events in succession at Road America to honor our commitments with the SCCA in June and Champ Car in August," said "Since Champ Car is now not running at the Road America, it makes sense for us to provide a more varied venue lineup for our racers. Trane Motor Speedway is a valued partner with the WKA and is popular among competitors. We are looking forward to putting on a great event in northern Illinois in early August. Likewise, we anticipate a great event at Road America in June with the SCCA." The 6/10th-mile sprint circuit is located near Sheridan, Illinois, about 45 miles from the greater Chicago area.
