USAToday 10Best Reader's Choice Selects Sebring
For Repeat Honor With Impressive Top Five Finish
Sebring International Raceway’s legendary 12-hour endurance race
has been voted as one of the world’s ten best motorsports races in the
USAToday 10Best competition.
Sebring was one of 20 races nominated by a panel of experts for the
month long vote, and finished fourth overall. This is a repeat honor for the
famed Florida circuit as the 12-hour race also earned a top ten ranking in
the previous 10Best competition in 2015.
“It is a remarkable achievement to have our 12-hour endurance race
again voted to be among the world’s ten best races,” stated Sebring
International Raceway President & General Manager Wayne Estes. “As the
‘Birthplace of American Endurance Racing,’ Sebring has a loyal following
of fans from around the world, and we thank them for voting. We are proud
of our heritage and the international prestige Sebring has earned through
seven decades.”
The Rolex24 at Daytona also finished in the top ten (9th), making IMSA’s
“36 Hours of Florida” endurance races a key part of USA Today’s 10Best
list.
Other events voted in the top ten include the Indianapolis 500, Daytona
500, Knoxville (IA) Nationals, Baja 1000, Chili Bowl Midget Nationals (Tulsa,
OK), the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France, Isle of Man Tourist Trophy and the
NASCAR night race held at Bristol (TN).
