JConcepts announce the 2015 season of the Indoor National Series, a 5 race off-road series across the United States. The first four years combined attracted over 4000 entries and this year drivers have the opportunity to showcase their abilities on a national and regional level. Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall nationals make up the seasonal events at fixed locations while the finals will serve as the end of the year bash for the awards and series championship. The series will be awarded based on points participation in three out of the five events. JConcepts wants to make the 2015 Indoor National Series one to remember. With a heavier marketing push to provide the best turnout possible for the host track, JConcepts has teamed up with Red RC as a media partner to professionally cover select events during the 2015 season. JConcept are looking to make 2015 a breakout year in terms of series participation, factory drivers, representatives and professionalism. All events will be awarded separately and collectively so those worried about a commitment will be recognized for performance regardless of series participation. City destinations, track facilities and competition level have all been weighed and evaluated ahead of time so rest assured the experience and atmosphere is worthy, now it’s up to you.
