The 2024 BITNILE.COM Grand Prix of Portland will reach multiple historic markers at Portland International Raceway (PIR), Aug. 23-25. The three-day race weekend will be the 30th professional open-wheel race between Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) from 1984-2003, then Champ Car World Series (Champ Car) from 2004-2007, and now an INDYCAR-sanctioned event at PIR. The event also marks 40 years since the inaugural Grand Prix of Portland won by Al Unser Jr. in 1984. As the 2024 race hits these significant milestones in 2024, it's the perfect time to look back at what has been a tremendous motorsport tradition in the Pacific Northwest over the past four decades.
