IndyCar – or its parent company at least – has just added another race to an increasing number of those it promotes itself. What does it get out of that?
IndyCar’s increased involvement in promoting and controlling events is driven by a desire to improve the overall quality and success of races. By taking over events such as the Nashville series finale, they can ensure effective promotion and better event management. With Penske Entertainment leading the way, IndyCar now has a significant role in multiple key races on the calendar, including iconic events like the Indianapolis 500 and Long Beach. This shift towards greater control over events allows for more tailored brand experiences, improved attendance, and better overall event loyalty. IndyCar’s strategic approach to event promotion and management, coupled with Roger Penske’s extensive network and resources, positions the series for continued success and potential international expansion in the future. Their recent successes, like turning around the Iowa race and the well-received Nashville event, showcase the benefits of this approach in revitalizing and enhancing the overall racing experience.
