The quest for speed reaches its peak during the ASF Cup, the American Speed Festival's premier timed competition. Open to an incredible mix of drivers and machinery, the ASF Cup brings together professional racers and their personal cars in a battle against the clock on the 1.5-mile M1 Circuit. Every lap matters as competitors push their cars to the limit in pursuit of the fastest time and the honor of claiming the coveted ASF Red Coat.
