The RoadRunner Turbo Indy 300 is an Indy Racing League IndyCar Series race held at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas. The IRL Indycar Series debuted the race in 2001.

In 2007, the race was run on April 29, 2007. The move was made at the request of spectators and participants, in hopes of cooler weather for race day. The first six years saw the race held on very hot and humid July days, making it hard for the fans and drivers. With its new date, it will mark the last IRL race before the Indianapolis 500.

The 2007 event marked the first time three women have competed at the same time in a major North American race. Danica Patrick, Sarah Fisher and Milka Duno finished 7th, 12th, and 14th respectively.

[edit] AAA Championship car history

The first Indy/Championship races in the K.C. area city took place in 1922-1924, at now-demolished Kansas City Speedway in Kansas City, Missouri. AAA held four races at the 1.25-mile (2.01 km) board track over three years. The final race was shortened from 250 miles (400 km) to 150 miles (240 km) due to damage to the track, and the series did not return.
