NASCAR has a new home on Fourth of July weekend - again.
After spending the star-spangled holiday in Daytona for 61 years, NASCAR moved that date to Indianapolis Motor Speedway last year.
But as part of a much bigger schedule shake-up for 2021, Road America claimed the date in rejoining the Cup Series schedule after a 65-year absence.

The 4-mile road course in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin has hosted a stand-alone Xfinity Series race since 2010. That race now serves as this weekend’s undercard for Cup.
Also on tap this weekend is Trans Am. A group of Cup and Xfinity drivers are competing in its TA-2 class to gain additional track time.
