Lincoln has scored a win in motor sports.
More than a thousand drivers are expected to come to Lincoln for almost a week next September to compete in a national "autocross" championship meet on a concrete course west of the Lincoln Airport.
After calling Topeka, Kan., home for the last 14 years, the Tire Rack Solo National Championships will move to Lincoln next year, at the Lincoln Air Park site.

Jason: Credit Jeff Maul of the Lincoln Convention and Visitors bureau with helping with this big get. Jeff's a big race fan, a regular fixture at the Eagle Nationals and has many times recommended the short tracks of the area to visiting business and convention guests. This is good news for Lincoln and Midwest racing in general.
You want to talk cars? Try one THOUSAND competitors. According to the SCCA, this is the largest event of its kind in the world.
As I've already seen, somebody may cry foul and bring up the drag strip stalemate or ask why support can't be lent to the dirt tracks. Different situation, different place, different timing. Anything that will bring the motorsports spotlight to Lincoln and SE Nebraska where the show's contributions will be recognized and appreciated for its economic impact to the community is a good thing.
Good job to all!
