Allmendinger moved into the lead for the first time in the race when he passed Kyle Busch on the start of the final stage, but had to navigate five restarts over the final 31 laps. With less than 10 laps to go, William Byron moved past Busch into the second and closed to Allmendinger’s rear

The 37-year-old Swiss-born Frenchman shared the latest update via social media, with a statement that also acknowledged his departure from the team, which recently became known as Andretti Global. The former Formula 1 driver said he “expected to continue racing with the fine people of Andretti Autosport in the coming years,” adding that he was
The formation will include focus on the commercial side and “may evolve over time,” according to a joint release from the respective teams. Additionally, there will be a combined strategic focus.

Gavin Ward’s title is changing from racing director to team principal, which comes as a reflection of his responsibilities of overseeing the programme. Ward, who joined the Arrow McLaren team in July 2022 and took on his current role ahead of the 2023 season, will continue to report directly to McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown.
As Sunday’s race wound to a finish, Blaney and Harvick found themselves swapping pushes and the lead.

Leonardo Gorini and Luca Pirri have been entered as the GT2’s inaugural drivers, as the Italian manufacturer makes its long-awaited follow-up to the revered MC12 GT1 that bowed out at the end of its title-winning 2010 FIA GT1 World Championship campaign. PLUS: The unwanted GT car that changed sportscar racing forever Maserati made its motorsport return by
NASCAR and Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) both confirmed the news on Thursday. The Brickyard 400 has long been considered a crown jewel on the NASCAR calendar, first joining the schedule in 1994, but following the 2020 NASCAR Cup season it was removed. NASCAR still competes at Indianapolis Motor Speedway but on the road course layout.
Argentina has been under heavy consideration to host IndyCar’s first race outside of North America since Sao Paulo in 2013. Conversations and interest increased after Ricardo Juncos, the Argentine IndyCar team owner, pulled off demonstration runs last November at Autodromo Termas de Rio Hondo in Santiago del Estero and Autodromo Oscar y Juan Galvez in
The Florida-born driver joined the team at the start of 2023, his sophomore year in the IndyCar Series, and earned two victories at Long Beach and Nashville, driving the Andretti’s #27 Honda-powered entry. He finished up the year with five additional top 10s, a pole and led 88 laps en route to 11th in the
The writing had been on the wall for several years, but the inevitable separation of the IndyCar Series and Texas Motor Speedway finally came with the arrival of the 2024 schedule. A relationship that began in 1997, the two transitioned through nearly every phase possible in the best and worst ways. The reality, though, is
Askew and newly crowned Indy NXT champion Christian Rasmussen will both test with ECR at the 2.3-mile track with the aim of earning a seat in the #20 Chevrolet alongside Rinus VeeKay for the 2024 season. After last competing in the series in 2021, Askew told Autosport: “There’s nothing that would make me happier than
The 1.5-mile superspeedway has played host to North America’s premier open-wheel championship every year since 1997, including two events per year from 1998-2004 that also featured season finales. A visit in June was traditionally held for the majority of the tenure, including when TMS was called upon to help jump-start the IndyCar season in 2020.
There is a significantly different look on the calendar that remains comprised of 17 events, along with the additional $1 Million Challenge non-points exhibition at The Thermal Club on 24 March. The changes include Texas Motor Speedway being dropped from the schedule, ending an annual trip that dates back to 1997. That loss won’t see
Rasmussen is fresh off a banner season in the second-tier series previously known as Indy Lights, where the Dane claimed five wins, a further three podiums and sat on the pole five times en route to the title. While there are aspirations to find a seat on the grid for next season, the 23-year-old remains
The Barbados-born Caymanian was signed as a development driver with CGR in May 2022, only two races into his Indy NXT career that already featured a fifth-place finish at Barber Motorsports Park. He ended up finishing his rookie campaign ninth in the standings after switching teams from TJ Speed Motorsports to HMD Motorsports mid-season. There
Denny Hamlin is the NASCAR Cup driver fans most love to hate. But, in many ways, he also epitomises the type of driver they most covet – one that worked his way up by talent and wasn’t handed the keys to a high-profile ride because he came with a lot of money. It’s a complex
The 2024 schedule for the IndyCar Series has yet to be revealed, but there have been suggestions about an international non-points race. Argentina has been the primary focal point if North America’s premier open-wheel championship extends beyond its continental territory. “IndyCar had the best moments when it was either televised or broadcast in 120 countries…
A development driver for CGR since May 2022, Simpson spent the past two years competing in Indy NXT. This year, he earned two podiums – including a career-best runner-up result at Mid-Ohio and one pole en route to 10th in the championship standings. The Cayman Islands native has also gained sportscar experience in 2023, contesting the
In a race that battled to find a rhythm in part due to battles with the weather, Hamlin took control in the second half after he grabbed the lead from his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota team-mate Ty Gibbs with 141 of 500 laps remaining. As the race remained caution-free the rest of the way, Hamlin was not
Laguna Seca has seen a thing or two since its construction in 1957, nestled among the dusty, sweeping hillsides between Monterey and Salinas, but not many races around the ‘dry lake’ have been as chaotic or frenzied as Sunday’s IndyCar Series finale, which very much had the feel of ‘School’s Out’ ahead of its five-month
The 25-year-old, who was competing as a rookie in the Cup Series with the Legacy Motor Club team co-owned by Jimmie Johnson, was suspended by the team and later NASCAR itself on 5 August. It was deemed that Gragson violated the sport’s code of conduct after liking a meme that mocked the 2020 murder of
A seventh IndyCar title eluded him for the third consecutive season, but Dixon’s charge to close out the runner-up spot with three wins in the final four rounds shows he remains a force to be reckoned with. There were question marks going into August if the 43-year-old Kiwi would endure an ultra-rare win-less 2023, something
The 23-year-old Dane picked up five wins – including both oval races at Iowa and Illinois – and three further podiums, plus five pole positions from his second season in the championship previously known as Indy Lights. He only finished outside the top 10 once in 14 starts, after a crash at Road America. Maybe
Palou started this year’s IndyCar blue ribband race from pole, but was pushed out of the lead fight following a collision with Rinus VeeKay in the pitlane. He bounced back to finish fourth, having charged up from last place. When asked about his hopes for winning the 2024 Indy 500, after ending his title-winning season
The 23-year-old Formula 2 graduate ran 12 of 17 races, which excluded ovals, in a ride share agreement with Takuma Sato. However five tops 10s, including a best of sixth on the streets of Toronto, established Armstrong as a rookie of the year contender despite the schedule limitations. It was cemented after a stout recovery
The 30-year-old Kiwi started second but was involved in an opening lap crash in Turn 2, which pushed him down the order and into the pitlane for repairs. But another incident quickly followed for the Kiwi, as he made hard contact with the back of a slowing Benjamin Pedersen on lap 6 of 95. On this occasion,
After powering past Brad Keselowski with 80 laps to go, Denny Hamlin appeared set to sweep victories in both Kansas races this season until Chris Buescher hit the wall with seven laps remaining and sent the race into a two-lap overtime. That set up several different pit strategies as Daniel Suarez stayed out and inherited the lead and
The six-time champion kept his head when many around him lost theirs, beating Scott McLaughlin (Team Penske) and his champion team-mate Alex Palou after a race punctuated by a high number caution periods caused by a series of wildly over-optimistic lunges and collisions that had a definite end-of-term feel. Poleman Felix Rosenqvist (Arrow McLaren) led
