NTT IndyCar Series has made changes to the start times of some upcoming races, with the most significant being the evening start at World Wide Technology Raceway.
The race at Gateway, usually held in the late afternoon, will now begin at 7:00 PM local time on June 15, creating a prime time showcase for the series.
In 2022, rain delays pushed Gateway’s race finish into darkness, where rookie David Malukas impressed by securing his first podium while racing with Dale Coyne Racing.
IndyCar President Doug Boles emphasized the exciting opportunity this primetime event presents for the series and praised the collaboration between FOX Sports and the World Wide Technology Raceway.
Adjustments have also been made to start times at Road America, Mid-Ohio, Iowa Speedway, and the Toronto street race to attract a broader audience and minimize competition from other sporting events.
