The World’s longest running racing series; The American National Championship began in 1909 and has had only four governing bodies; AAA (1909), USAC (1959-1979), CART (1979-2003) and Champ Car (2004 to present). As in 1909, the series still runs on a variety of tracks including natural terrain road courses, street courses, ovals and super-speedways.
