Penske Entertainment CEO Mark Miles is exploring the idea of an international barnstorming tour for the NTT IndyCar Series during the offseason. Despite previous unsuccessful attempts to bring the series to the global stage, Miles remains determined to expand its reach. The potential global tour could include multiple races and extend the series’ presence beyond North America. The shift from NBC to FOX as the broadcaster for IndyCar in 2025 has influenced the decision to end the regular season in August, prompting the consideration of an IndyCar International Series. This concept, presented to team owners earlier this year, aims to create a competitive and lucrative international series for IndyCar teams and sponsors. The strategic move aligns with the evolving landscape of sports broadcasting and competition.
