Following a crash-filled race at World Wide Technology Raceway, the NTT IndyCar Series has made adjustments to its oval restart practices, particularly after Josef Newgarden’s victory. Newgarden delayed acceleration until the end of the restart zone, causing questions about the timing of going green. To avoid confusion similar to the WWTR incident, IndyCar has painted a new line at the Milwaukee Mile, establishing the end of the restart zone for this weekend’s event. This change aims to offer clarity to drivers and officials during restarts without altering overall restart procedures. The new line will also be implemented at future ovals, starting with the season finale at Nashville Speedway in two weeks.
