Following the June hybrid test at the Milwaukee Mile, NTT IndyCar Series drivers and engineers expressed concerns about the quality of racing for the upcoming Hy-Vee Milwaukee Doubleheader. Despite initial worries, optimism grew as softer left-side tires and dedicated rubber application sessions were introduced. The revised tires by Firestone were designed to degrade after 30-40 laps, promoting more competitive and strategic racing. Drivers highlighted the importance of tire management and committing to daring overtaking maneuvers to successfully pass competitors. While some faced understeer challenges due to the aeroscreen and hybrid weight, others grappled with oversteer issues, anticipating close competition and exciting races at the event.
