HYPER-FEST:
This round of the XDC is going to be the most different in terms of format when compared with the rest of the season due to partnership with the 9th Annual NASA Hyper-fest. Summit Point Raceway also has several racetracks as part of their venue, as a result, there will be lots of other motorsports happening simultaneously while we are still holding the third round of our series.
