Road America is celebrating its 60th season in 2015. 2) Road America was founded by Mr. Clif Tufte, an engineer by trade.

Road America employs 22 full time staff. The seasonal payroll swells to over 400 during the height of the racing season, June thru August. 4) An independent economic impact survey was commissioned in 2000 by Road America and performed by Lakeland College.
