The Race of Champions and Thompson (CT) Speedway management have reached an agreement, setting the stage for an extraordinary event. This historic 75th annual Race of Champions will take place as part of the 63rd annual World Series Weekend on Saturday, October 11, 2025. It brings together two remarkable modified racing traditions, promising an unforgettable experience.

Honoring a Legendary Event

This 150-lap event will award a substantial $12,500-to-win prize and a place on the legendary Al Gerber Memorial trophy. Similar to past events, pit stops will be a crucial aspect, with three (3) crew members allowed and only one (1) tire permitted to be changed per caution. This maintains the strategic and competitive nature that the event has been known for over the years.

American-Canadian Tour managing partner Cris Michaud expressed his pride, stating, "It’s an honor for both Tom (Mayberry) and myself to be able to host this iconic event as part of the 63rd Sunoco World Series Weekend. We’re proud to bring the 75th annual Race of Champions to Thompson Speedway and play a role in its legendary history."

It will be the first time the race is held in Connecticut, following its previous appearances in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York, adding a new chapter to its storied journey.

The World Series and Modified Series

The World Series will witness the Race of Champions Modified Series crown its Series champion as it serves as the final point-paying event for the 2025 season. This adds an extra layer of significance to the already highly anticipated event.

Continuing at Lake Erie Speedway

Race of Champions management has announced that the September 12, 13, and 14 event will remain "Race of Champions Weekend" at Lake Erie Speedway in North East, PA. The event weekend will showcase each of the Race of Champions "Family of Series," with the Modified Series taking center stage on Saturday, September 12. The remainder of the schedule for the Lake Erie event will be released at a later date.

The Race of Champions Modified Series is also scheduled to appear at Lake Erie Speedway on Saturday, April 12, 2025, further solidifying its presence in the racing circuit.
