THEIndyCar will provide more details on October 1 regarding the event. The news is in any case something to delight the paddock of the discipline, and in particular Roger Penske, the director of the eponymous team. “I think the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will add some excitement around May in Indianapolis. I'm excited to see IMS and IndyCar exploring new opportunities to help elevate our sport. I have been coming to this track since 1951 and have a deep respect for the history and heritage of Indianapolis. As someone who was fortunate enough to win the Indy 500 and the first Nationwide Series event at Indy, I can tell you it would be fantastic to win that first IndyCar road race at Indianapolis. »
