Grand Prix of Denver

A Champ Car race was first held in Denver in 1909 on a 14.5-mile (23.3-km) road circuit in nearby Brighton.

In 1990, Champ Cars returned to Denver with a CART-sanctioned event downtown near the Civic Center.

CART returned to Denver in 2002 with a race on a 1.64-mile (2.64-km) temporary circuit around the then-named Pepsi Center.

Champ Car initially put the race on its 2007 schedule but removed it after conflicts with other events could not be reconciled.
