Everything You Wanted to Know About NASA Championships
Launched in 2006, the NASA Championships is one of the marquee events of the National Auto Sport Association. The Championship event provides NASA racers around the country the definitive platform for showcasing their driving talent, their attention to detail and their devotion to the sport. Only when all three of those elements come together can they hope to have a shot at being crowned a NASA National Champion.
To become a NASA Champion, everything must come together to conquer the very best amateur racing drivers in the country. Error-free driving is a must. Exceptional preparation is key; a bit of good luck certainly helps.
To give competitors across the country the opportunity to compete at the highest level of amateur motorsports, the NASA Championships moves each year to a different track. From “bucket list” tracks such as Circuit of The Americas to the legendary venues of American road racing such as Virginia International Raceway, Road Atlanta, Sebring, Sonoma and Watkins Glen, the NASA Championships is the ultimate stage.
The 20th annual NASA Championships will take place Sept. 24-27 at Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Florida
For 2026, NASA is pleased to announce it will be hosting its National Championships event Sept. 24-27 at Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Fla.
NASA was the first amateur racing organization to break new ground with the idea of moving its Championships event from year to year, and it has chosen Sebring International Raceway as the site of its 20th annual event.
“We held our Championships event at Sebring in 2017, and it was a huge success. Our drivers love Sebring, so we are thrilled to return to the track for 2026,” said NASA CEO, Jeremy Croiset. “Racing at Sebring is like racing through the halls of history among the greatest names in all of sports car racing. There is no other track like it, with its long, fast straightaways, its famously bumpy Turn 17 and plenty of opportunities for passing. That is what makes Sebring such a great venue for NASA Championships racing.”
