About IROC
IROC (International Race of Champions) is a series that held races from 1973 to 2006, which brought together the greatest drivers from all forms of motorsport to race identical cars on historic tracks for an all-star extravaganza.
In early 2024, NASCAR Hall of Fame member Ray Evernham and former NASCAR Cup Series team owner and venture capitalist Rob Kauffman founded IROC Holdings LLC and announced they had acquired the rights to the
IROC brand. These events are designed to deliver an unmatched fan experience, offering close access to iconic cars and star drivers, while also fostering an enjoyable atmosphere for participating drivers and IROC car owners.
Together, these elements create a highly engaging platform for series partners to activate.
