For all its history, Road America only hosted NASCAR’s premier series once before, when Tim Flock won a rainy Grand National event back in 1956. That changes Sunday on the Fourth of July -- a coup for a facility that bills itself as “America’s national park for speed” but until this year couldn’t land a Cup date.
