Deadline is Sunday to save some dough on USRA licenses

February 21, 2024

Sunday, March 3, is the final day to purchase your 2024 USRA Competitor License before the cost increases by $20. If you plan to compete in the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series this season, we encourage you to register online or call (515) 832-6000 to complete your registration with one of our friendly staff members. You can also download the license application and then mail or fax your completed form.

The cost of a USRA Competitor License—which provides supplement insurance coverage above covered medical expenses—is $130 for Modifieds; $110 for Stock Cars and Late Models; $100 for B-Mods, Hobby Stocks, Limited Mods and Factory Stocks; and $60 for Tuners. There are no refunds for license purchases.

All competitors must possess either a USRA Competitor License or USRA Temporary License prior to participating in a USRA-sanctioned event event. USRA Competitor License fees increase by $20 beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, March 4. In addition to a $20 increase in price, licenses purchased on or before March 3 include $100,000 supplemental insurance protection—this amount drops to $25,000 beginning March 4.

To be eligible for Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national and regional points funds, a driver must have competed in at least half (50%) of the events held at any one USRA-sanctioned racetrack which hosts at least eight (8) events in 2023. To be eligible for track points funds, competitors must have competed in at leat half (50%) of the events held at that racetrack.

USRA Competitor Licenses must be purchased directly from the USRA by calling (515) 832-6000 or online at register online. You may also print the form and mail it to the USRA office address listed on the form. All credit card transactions incur a small fee, but mailing a check has no additional fees.

USRA Competitor Licenses must be purchased directly from the USRA. Temp licenses must be purchased from the racetrack. Racetracks do not sell USRA Competitor Licenses and the USRA does not sell temp licenses. Drivers opting to purchase a temp license earn the normal national, regional and track points, but the purchase of a temp license does not apply toward the cost of a USRA Competitor License if one is purchased later, and only those with a USRA Competitor License will receive points fund money.
