Speedway to host X-Prize competition

The Automotive X-Prize, a competition to develop the most fuel-efficient, safe and durable vehicles with three winners splitting $10 million in prize money, will be hosted from April through August at Michigan International Speedway.

Sponsored by Progressive Insurance and subsidized by a $3.5-million Department of Energy grant, the prize has attracted 41 teams that have developed 51 vehicles.

The competition will begin April 26 with what organizers call the shakedown stage. Over two weeks, judges will evaluate the driving dynamics, safety, braking, acceleration and refueling or recharging time.
