ELKHART LAKE, Wis. — The racing season is still a few months away but Road America intends to turn up the heat this winter at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, February 9-18 at the McCormick Place complex. Billed as the nation’s largest and longest running auto show, Road America will be in the mix again with various automotive manufacturers promoting another exciting year of racing action at booth #SH23, across from the ARMY display.

Staff and volunteers from Road America will be on hand to talk about the 2013 season, plus new and returning racing events that are scheduled and what changes fans and racers can expect at America’s National Park of Speed. Race fans can also pick up a copy of the 2013 Road America schedule and ticket info, take hot laps in a racing simulator and sign up for prizes and special promotions as part of a new partnership with Car Guy Nation.
