*May be moved to July or August


Many of these dates and venues correspond closely to this season's schedule. The NJMP race will be moved from the spring to mid-summer and Monticello Motor Club has been added in April. Road America will move to November, when the series can run a weekend date.

There appear to gaps in the schedule in July and August, ostensibly to either add some dates or for the staff at LeMons HQ to go on a three-week bender.

Events by region:

East (5): Monticello (April), NHMS (May), Summit Point (June), NJMP (August), NHMS (October)
South (2): CMP (March), CMP (September)
Midwest (4): Gingerman (April), High Plains (June), Autobahn (Summer), Road America (November)
Gulf (2): ECR (May), MSR (September)
West (5): Sonoma (March), Buttonwillow (June), The Ridge (July), Thunderhill (September), Chuckwalla (December)


ChumpCar World Series will release its 2013 schedule on Thursday, November 1.
