Penske Entertainment, the owner of the NTT IndyCar Series, is set to unveil its final charter system structure to team owners before the Indy 500 on May 26. The decision to not charge teams for charters has been well-received by the paddock, following initial pushback when the idea was first proposed with a $20 million price tag. Some team owners have expressed approval of the overall franchise system concept, despite its initial setback. The upcoming charter presentation will confirm that the 25 charters will be offered at no cost, with no final decisions until the official announcement. While there won’t be guaranteed starting positions at the Indy 500 for charter entries, other races are likely to enforce this provision, with fans expressing mixed reactions to the developments.
