INDIANAPOLIS (May 18, 2016) - Open wheel fans from across the Midwest will now have the privilege to experience the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions from the comfort of their own living room. Series officials are pleased to announce the addition of a television schedule, broadcast on a tape-delayed basis, that will feature six Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions events from six different race tracks in three states. Race enthusiasts located in areas outside of Arctic Cat All Star scheduled territory will now have the opportunity to join in on the action, with the first scheduled broadcast set to feature competition from the Wilmot Raceway in Wilmot, Wisconsin.

“This is a huge step for our series and our competitors,” explained Tony Stewart, All Star Circuit of Champions owner. “A deal like this allows our series to be viewed on a whole new level, reaching viewers in areas where we may not visit or have accessibility. It gives our drivers, teams, and sponsors the exposure that they deserve. We are excited for this opportunity and hope to expand on it in the future.”

Teaming together with the Sinclair Broadcast Group, the six-race television schedule will be broadcast via the American Sports Network, expanding Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions exposure in areas of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Indiana, with national potential also available.
