IndyCar doesn’t want to be “locked into only one option” in ’25 Texas return – Miles
The Texas Motor Speedway, a popular venue for IndyCar races since 1997, has been left off the 2024 schedule due to conflicts and uncertainties. Despite being in the middle of a multi-year deal, it is unclear if IndyCar will return to the track in the near future. NTT Data, the title sponsor of the IndyCar Series, is based in Texas, making it an important market for the championship. However, if a resolution with Texas Motor Speedway cannot be reached, IndyCar may consider other options. Circuit of The Americas in Austin, which hosted Spring Training in 2019 and 2020, is a potential alternative. There were previous rumors of a street race in San Antonio, but those plans were sidelined when IndyCar added COTA to the schedule. Another idea that has been mentioned is a race around AT&T Stadium in Arlington, although it seems to have lost momentum. Overall, IndyCar is exploring various possibilities for future races in Texas.
