Start time for IndyCar’s round at Barber Motorsports Park confirmed
Last week, NBC Sports and IndyCar announced the broadcast schedule for the 2024 season, with the Children’s of Alabama Indy Grand Prix time notably missing, only stating it would air on NBC and Peacock. The race at Barber Motorsports Park will be the third points-paying event in this year’s IndyCar Series, following three other races. The Thermal Club will host a $1 Million Challenge non-points exhibition race on TV on March 24, at 12:30 ET, which marks the 14th time the 2.3-mile road course has hosted the championship. Team Penske’s Scott McLaughlin will defend his race win, with past winners at the circuit including Josef Newgarden, Pato O’Ward, Alex Palou, and Will Power. Team Penske boasts the most wins at the track with seven victories, followed by various other teams with fewer wins.
