TRENTON, N.J. – Officials from the Indoor Auto Racing Championship Series Fueled by VP Race Fuels has announced a bit of good news and a bit of bad news.

The good news is that the sixth annual event at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pa., on Jan. 8-9 is a go thanks to recently released state COVID-19 guidelines. The two day event will again be headlined by the TQ Midgets.

“The recent guidelines released by Pennsylvania Governor Wolf have given us the opportunity to begin planning the event at Allentown’s PPL Center,” said Indoor Auto Racing Series Promoter Len Sammons. “While gathering numbers are limited, its gives us a starting spot and the opportunity to begin planning the Allentown event. Entries will soon be made available and a limited amount of tickets put on sale. It’s our hope, as the event grows closer, the governor will expand his gathering numbers so we can allow for more fans and racers in the PPL Center.”
