IROC VI: Difference between revisions

The sixth year of [[IROC]] competition took place in [[1978]] and [[1979]]. The format changed from [[IROC V]] in that three qualifying races were held for participants from [[NASCAR]], [[United States Auto Club|USAC]] [[Champ Car]], and Road Racing (which primarily consisted of [[Formula 1]] ,[[Sports Car Club of America|SCCA]], and [[International Motor Sports Association|IMSA]]). The top four finishers in these qualifying races then earned the chance to race in the two final races at [[Riverside International Raceway]] and [[Atlanta Motor Speedway]]. '''IROC VI''' used the [[Chevrolet]] [[Camaro]] in all races. [[Mario Andretti]] won the road racing finale en route to the championship, and took home $75,000 for his efforts.
