The first practice session of IndyCar’s weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway has been delayed due to persistent rain. Small showers keep moving through the area, making it challenging to dry the 1.25-mile oval completely. The oval track at Gateway requires a completely dry surface for racing to occur, and the fleet of jet dryer pickup trucks is working to help dry the asphalt. However, high humidity and light winds are not speeding up the process, making it uncertain when the track will be suitable for high-speed running. IndyCar is accompanied by support series like IndyNXT and the USAC Silver Crown series this weekend. Sunday’s schedule may allow for sessions to be rescheduled if necessary, with a better forecast ahead. It remains unclear whether sessions will be canceled or rescheduled throughout the day due to the inclement weather.
