Since 1956
For more than six decades, the United States Auto Club has been a cornerstone of American motorsport — built on a commitment to fair competition, innovation, and excellence.
Our Story
The United States Auto Club was founded in 1956 by Indianapolis Motor Speedway owner Tony Hulman. From its home in Speedway, Indiana, USAC emerged from a foundational commitment to promote fair competition, innovation, and excellence in motorsports.
Our mission is to uphold the integrity of American racing by organizing, promoting, and sanctioning high-quality racing events — providing a platform where talent and innovation can thrive.
What We Do
We oversee diverse competitions — including the Silver Crown, National Sprint Car, and National Midget Series — across four disciplines.
We prioritize driver and spectator protection with rigorous safety standards and ongoing investment in safety research.
We run developmental programs and competitions that equip emerging drivers with the resources to succeed.
We host fan events, educational programs, and outreach initiatives to build enthusiasm for racing.
Our Legacy
USAC envisions motorsports that are accessible, exciting, and engaging for all. Across our history, the club has helped launch legendary careers — including A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, and Jeff Gordon — while thrilling millions of fans.
The rare drivers who sweep all three national circle-track titles in a single season earn the sport's ultimate honor, the USAC Triple Crown — achieved by only Tony Stewart (1995) and J.J. Yeley (2003).
